They say their teacher education program is one of the best around. Looking back at my time here, I really have a hard time believing that. There was only one class required for classroom management and that was taught by a professor who believed that if we kept the kids busy, then they will have no time to misbehave. She did not teach us any other type of ways to manage behavior besides that. I did not feel prepared whatsoever by the time I got to the teaching internship. I really did not enjoy... Read More the methods classes either and felt they did not prepare me to teach like they are supposed to. I thought methods classes were a way to learn how to teach a certain subject but all I got from them is how to write lesson plans. Every professor likes the lesson plans done in a different very specific way in every class that I took. In my experience, my time here really was not about learning, it was about appeasing the professors and doing work in the specific way that they required. The school itself is okay. It is on the cheaper side so that is a plus. I can't speak for other majors but the education majors here seemed to be older and have kids so if you're just out of high school and coming in to be an education major, you might have trouble finding friends who you can relate to. I also feel like this school did not show off their amenities very well like I just found out in my last semester that they offer free gym classes for enrolled students which is pretty nice. Definitely do research and explore the school because I'm sure there is a lot of other free things they don't advertise very well. Overall, I would recommend this school but the teacher education program definitely needs changing to better prepare future teachers.

I graduated from University of Houston Clear Lake (UHCL) with a joint MHA//MBA degree in 2019. The UHCL MHA/MBA dual degree program delivers excellent value as well as strong ties to the Texas Medical Center (TMC) with their Health Administration program located in the heart of the TMC. UHCL has a strong network of working with local TMC healthcare organizations leading to both excellent internship opportunities as well as a robust UHCL alumni network. UHCL also offers in person, online, and hybrid... Read More course options for working professionals allowing you to save time and obtain your degree on your own terms. I can't recommend UHCL highly enough, especially their MHA/MBA program! Thanks for reading!

Masters of Healthcare Administration program is a joke. The professors here are terrible , have no skills and are worst attitudes towards international students. For instance , for Managerial Epidemiology course all we did was play the game "Pandemic" , seriously ! each course costs around 3500 USD and they teach us nothing. If you are in international student they treat you like a money vending machine . They never try to accommodate your needs . This university ruined my life in the literal sense.... Read More Their program has no accreditation so you degree certificate has less use than toilet paper. Prof. Dianne love is arrogant and has the worst attitude towards students. My advice is not to join this school even if it is the only option ,its rather better working at McD than getting a degree from this School.

The education and assistance I received at The University of Houston-Clear Lake was nothing short of stellar! My first interactions were with the Office of Admissions; I can recall meeting with the to discuss entrance requirements and their taking the time to walk me through each and every aspect of the process over the phone and scheduling time to meet with me in person. While attending UHCL, I was not only working full-time but also an expectant mother, therefore taking classes at night as I worked... Read More and had doctors appointments during the day. I can recall one of my professors staying late most evenings just prior to my giving birth to ensure I had the opportunity to work slightly ahead of the class so I wouldn't get far behind in the event I went into labor. Upon notifying him of my admittance into the hospital, he made arrangements for me to complete assignments at home, submit them via email and made special arrangements for my final exam. I have and will continue to recommend students to UHCL as both the level of education and support from the university are second to none.

I think the Doctoral program for curriculum and instruction is innovative, and will continue to grow. I have always thought that educators specifically can get a lot more out of a face to face program such as this due to the networking and collaboration amongst like-minded people. The flexibility of this program has allowed me to stay on track and create schedules that fit my needs. I have found that for the most part, the coursework is project-based so if you can kind of look ahead you can set yourself... Read More up to have your coursework compliment itself allowing you more time to dig deeper into certain topics if you are interested in doing so. I have found that the specialization courses are typically more tests, but this is not the majority of the coursework. I am happy to share this as a busy mother of a 2 year old, a 4 year old, and a stepson about to enter college, a wife of a shift working husband, and as a science curriculum specialist in grades Pre-K through 12, a job that can be pretty demanding of my time and brain power. I hope that by sharing my perspective of this program that someone in a similar situation can see a way to further their own education. My family is the motivation that keeps me going, and the continued support from the faculty as well as my cohort members gives me perseverance.

PROS Small class size: In my graduate program, class size is usually small with low amount of graduate students which gives the faculty the ability to know students names, monitor the progress of their student and also makes the student more bold enough to ask more questions as compared to a large class. Faculty accessibility: The faculty are very much accessible and treat you as if you're their child giving the student a broad room to learn and to be more open to their personal challenges as well... Read More as mentoring them in building them to be professionals in their future career. Their accessibility cuts across student broad visiting hours and quick response to emails from students. On campus jobs/ Volunteer opportunities: Availability of on-campus jobs and volunteer opportunities to sharping students on other aspects as well CONS Most graduate programs are done late at night giving the students fewer opportunities to interact with other students of lower class.
