Strength: In general the staff demonstrated true expertise and built a curriculum that was very conducive to learning and applying the course material. Weakness: Because the program focuses so greatly on working students, some courses were light on external project work that provides hands on knowledge transfer.

The program needs more external projects that require application and research. An example is a business plan for a real company. This is offered in the Management of Technology masters program and is an elective in the MBA program...it should be required for all MBAs. The end to end experience I had in the course was the most rewarding I had at UTSA.

s

The flexibility and classroom experience was difficult but very rewarding.

The program went above my expectations and was incredibly flexible. The class schedules worked well and I was always able to get the classes that I needed, when I needed them. The professors were extremely experienced in both the professional and academic environments and offered a lot of great real world experience/advice.

s

The combination of affordability, flexibility, and quality of the program make it an easy choice to make if you have to work and pay your way through school.

I would've liked more in depth case studies and a wider selection of electives.

As far as the part-time nature, the day-to-day experience solely consisted of attending class in the evening. That type of experience really couldn't be improved. Valet parking, perhaps...

Most of the instructors had worked in business settings and understood the real world. They were able to communicate key points that I'll remember for the rest of my life. They understood that most of us worked full-time and were flexible in our school assignments.

s

UTSA's program gave me the flexibility needed to keep my current job and it really helped me find myself and determine the direction I want to take in life - personally and career wise. It was a growing experience and very useful.

The professors not only taught material but had valuable life lessons to incorporate.

The professors are great, especially the finance professors. They know finance inside out and can relate it to the industry.

s

The program provided an excellent curriculum, especially with regard to the concentration in Infrastructure/Information Assurance.

Strengths: Adjuncts/Business professionals in the field of study bringing relevant and timely material to the learning environment. Weaknesses: Some faculty members did not consistently bring relevant, timely material to the learning environment, because they seemed out of touch current issues in their industry (too book focused at times).
