Since the classes are smaller, professors do get to know your name and they make sure you are learning the material. They go out of their way to help you understand the concepts. It is a very competitive school and honestly you must work hard in all classes to get an A. If you feel you can handle a job as well as the school load, they offer many job opportunities and internships on campus, many of which can be found in the career center.

My favorite class that I have taken while at UTD is BA 3301 Employment Law. The professor made the class really fun to attend. The learning experience was definitely worthwhile. Many of the students are competitive, considering many of them are international students. School of Management is the largest school at UTD, more than half of the students who attend UTD are in the school of business. UTD has a very high standard for academic requirements, which speaks volumes about its reputation in comparison to other schools in Texas.

I always remind myself that I should work harder and harder so that I will not fall behind.

Thomas

The SOM has successfully dispelled some preexisting ideas I had about college courses. The way it's built up, I was inclined to assume that I'd be packed into a room filled with hundreds of people and I'd never have an opportunity to even meet a professor. On the contrary, I've personally spoken to and known the names of every professor I've ever had. Each one shows a consistent, genuine interest in their student's learning. The classes are difficult, but ultimately rewarding. And you can be sure that if you're having trouble with anything, your professors are available and eager to help
