The University of Houston

Without getting lengthy, I'll just say that I spent half of my time in the Master of Arts in P.A. program and the other half in the M.B.A. program; the difference in professor quality is astonishing. They recently put one Dr. Weiher in charge of the former, who is dry, uninspiring, and one of those tenured guys who is just sucking, sucking, sucking. On the bright side, the university in general hands out money like it's going out of style. Scholarships, teaching assistantships, and jobs are relatively easy to obtain.

Stay away from Dr. Yuasa. He doesn't speak English. It was a struggle. You have to take one class from him to graduate.

It is true that you get what you put in, but I don't know whether that makes things better. I would only join this program if you get a T.A. job and then never work for Yuasa.

I graduated just fine and made good time. I'm still looking for work. I've applied to 12 jobs in two months and I'm still waiting to get a first interview. Hope this helps someone out there:)
