Date: Jul 04 2017
Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated w/an ADN in 2012. Had a friend that loved UTA so I got into the online program. First problem: courses are outsourced to a company that uses Coaches for your main interaction. They are responsive to emails in 24 hours but not helpful. Often don't know the course or assignments. Nearly every coach interaction I had over 11 classes was a waste of time.

Second problem: I had to spend $1,000 taking Texas History and Texas politics due to an old Depression-era law. Required of every student. I live in Georgia; total waste of my time and money.

Third problem: They told me it would cost about $10-11,000. Actual cost for me: about $17,000. Big difference!

Fourth problem, and the one that prompted my review: I registered for the final course. Yea! The day it started, Student Accounts dropped me for non-payment. I had contacted them 3 weeks before to see when my load would disburse and they didn't know. Just told me to watch my email. So they sent me an email that I owed a little more than my loan covered *two business days* before they dropped me! Really, two business days notice? One of those days I was gone to work for 14 hours. And what online student checks school email every two days anyway?

Now I have to wait three months to take my final class!

Bottom line: I regret going to UTA for my BSN.
