Welcome to the worst University in the universe. I am doing online master program and I had two courses at the same time, I did not know that. This is online master program and students cannot take two courses at the same time. But I did it. I failed the one course because I did not know that. Either my professor or AP coach or my advisory informed me about it. As a result, I failed the course and I have to pay the course fee to get the course. Last year, me and my friend asked our advisory to take... Read More two or three course during summer. But the advisory said no because this program is accelerated program. Overall, the system cannot allowed to students to take two courses but I did it and I failed it. No one made a contact with me. I send the email my advisory and I did not get the final answer about the course fee. If I cannot pay the fee until this month end,June 30, I cannot get the course. I mean I have to wait one more month. That's why, the worst university in the Texas. Advisory, she is very busy. Professor and AP coach are very busy to send an email to student when they forget or do not turn in assignment. It was my last course to complete my master program which is Curriculum and Instruction in Math Education.

I am currently an Academic Partnerships student at the University of Texas at Arlington. This program is an online Master's program, and I am pursuing a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, with an emphasis in Literacy Studies. I was concerned that the online atmosphere would reduce the course rigor, but I have not at all been disappointed in that regard. The professors are highly interactive and available, the coursework is challenging and relevant, and I'm able to use what I am learning immediately... Read More in my classroom, with my own students. Overall, I am very happy with my experience, and have already recommended the program to colleagues in my building!

Pros: The online graduate program is very convenient, as I can access my coursework from nearly anywhere, as long as I have a computer. The faculty support is also extremely wonderful, as they are always available for questions or with any problems I may have. Cons: Because it is an online program, I do not have the benefit of face-to-face interaction with my fellow cohort members and it is a requirement that anyone who chooses the online route to be a self-starter and very independent while working... Read More on their assignments, since the professor isn't physically there to push or guide you along.

I like the flexibility of the online classes. With that, it is very difficult to speak with someone about classes, schedule, and graduation requirements. There is often a lack of communication between the deans and students with regard to class cancellations. I missed a class that was only offered during the summer because my adviser failed to inform me of the added requirements. This has caused my graduation to be extended one whole year and has cost me thousands of dollars. I love the instructors... Read More as they are passionate and understand that we have busy day jobs.
