The University of Texas at Dallas Reviews

"The School was initially a Research Institution founded by Texas Instruments' Later it became a Degree granting graduate school, eventually becoming a proper University. The classes are competitive in the Sciences and the Engineering departments and the researchers are top-notch. I my particular School, after my advisor died, I left with an MS in good standing, but I've not been able to get support to return to complete the PhD. I'm also concerned about my fellow peers, that once they completed their Dissertation were encouraged to stay there as Post-Docs for many years. It seems that there is a culture of academic inbreeding."

"The cost of attending grad school at University of Texas at Dallas is too high, however the program is great and I would recommend it to many, as the professors do a great job of preparing the grad students for the professional world."

"I think this program offered a good general base for graduate psychology but I feel like they would benefit from becoming more focused on a specific area of psychology."

"Pros: Affordable Tuition Cons: The reputation"

"The biggest pro has got to be the faculty members. I read books they've written for FUN, and one of my professors is the leading authority in American translation studies. The downfall...cost of living in Dallas can get high, and the traffic is pretty awful. But the school itself is amazing!"

"University of Texas at Dallas is very diverse with many options to choose from."

"UTD's graduate MBA program is great and has several different awards that they have received for their academic performance. The atmosphere is wonderful and the students are all conscientious of success. Although, there is a slight divide because of so many international students. The social atmosphere becomes aggregated and classmates stick to "their people". I love the school, but I wish there were more ways to involve the many classes of students."

"I think my grad program is good, and with a good ranking, i think i can find a job after graduation."

"The pros of this program are costs, location, and the general academic challenge. The professors are interesting presenting neat concepts with involving coursework. The major con would be the local area because you can not bike or walk anywhere."

"very good if working full time as well as attending classes"

"Translation Studies Pros: Interdisciplinary studies offer a wider range of knowledge Cons: Interdisciplinary studies does not offer many translation-focused courses. If the coursed allowed translation students to do translation-related projects for final projects, might be better. Also, it should offer a wider range of translation education, not just an introduction, not just about literature and poetry."

"Great facilities and access to advanced computer software. A large portion of the professor's first language isn't English, so it can be difficult at times to understand what is being taught."

"The University has made extensive improvements in recent years under the planning and leadership of the current administration. UT Dallas continues to grow and improve toward a Tier One University status."

"The program is a perfect fit for students like myself interested in enhancing their research credentials and preparing for PhD programs."

"Great place for returning/non-traditional students. Professors have real-world experience and in general are experts in their field."

"The school has a new renovated campus and the neuroscience and engineering program has some of the best teachers and researchers you can imagine. The prospect of future careers if you stay in Texas are quite positive, as the cooperate connections of the university are excellent."
