Major: Math (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended UTB as a commuter, and I guess I'm glad the school was available to me. Like any school, it has some good faculty members. Unfortunately, the student body is mainly made of refugees from Brownsville's corrupt and failed public school system. Most of the classes in the biggest departments are remedial (down to elementary-school math!).Since giving diplomas to underpriviledged kids makes everyone look good, UTB gives out a lot of them, even though graduates from Houston Community College (which I have attended—supurb school) probably have a better education.The standards are so low that a UTB degree is worthless if you plan to continue your education in an academic subject.
