University of Arkansas at Little Rock

Graduated with an undergraduate degree in biology in 2017. The university as a whole cares very little about it's students. It is 110% a for-profit university. They hire very underqualified professors who pride themselves on "not rocking the boat." The administration has no interest whatsoever in helping students find employment after graduation, or making partnerships with industries or businesses in the community to do the former. The sole focus with the current administration is to generate revenue so as to not lose accredidations and faculty members due to a steady decline in student enrollment and graduation rate. There are a handful of professors in some departments who care for and cater to their students, but they are either retiring or going to other universities for less pay. I hate to say these things about my alma mater, but the truth is the truth.

If you have the patience to deal with lack of communication and knowledge of the most basic things like me than apply if you do not avoid this school like the Black Plague! Seriously! I am in process applying for the nursing program transferring from out of state University. Mr. Jon Vickers never answer the phone or give you a call back, I literally call this man 10 times in the past two weeks and no answer or phone call back! He is suppose to be head of nursing department but he never answer any calls. Front desk people could never answer the most basic questions like “ when are the nursing application going to be available” they always transfer me and no one every seems to be available. Only good experience I had is talking to Belinda White. This school needs a lot of work with communication and keep their staff up to date on basic information.

I have been in the graduate program at UALR, since the fall of 2017. I cannot recall any issues that I have had with staff, classes, registration, or financial aid. My professors are always available for me when I have needed them and they respond to me in a timely manner when I reach out to them. I am in an online program and it has been a rewarding experience thus far. If I were going to say anything negative about UALR, it would be about the pricey books that I have purchased in the bookstore. But, I cannot even say that, considering what I have spent on books in undergrad in Texas.

As a student in the college of Mass Comm for an online Masters, I can say that this is one of the least organized, ragtag, messy programs I have ever seen with an astounding lack of communication (ironically). The lack of basic understanding for the requirements of a degree by some of the department members is unbelievable. The class offerings of classes required for graduation is abysmal, especially considering you are required to be advised of upcoming semesters. With that advising session, one would think that with a reviewer, the classes on that graduation plan would be vetted to ensure they meet requirements and that their offering within the next year is reasonable, but alas, that is not the case. I would not recommend anyone attend nor waste their money on the online Masters in mass comm.
