Academics
The Naveen Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas offers five flexible options (Full-Time Cohort, Professional Evening Cohort, Professional Flex, Professional Online and Executive MBA) for MBAs to achieve their degree, as well as fifteen concentrations and the option of adding a double MS degree (thirteen additional options, five of which are STEM-designated). The school鈥檚 reasonable tuition is offset by 鈥渆xcellent value, great financial aid, [and a] strong local network,鈥 as well as outstanding programs in finance and business analytics and a reputation as a top research institution. The program is 鈥渁t a very high level,鈥 has enviably small class sizes, and 鈥渨ill not break the bank.鈥
Professors are 鈥渧ery instructive with course materials [and] with real world applications of current events,鈥 and are 鈥渧ery good at explaining the material and providing examples or in class demos on how concepts work.鈥 UT Dallas 鈥渁lways prioritizes research and teaching equally,鈥 which is why many professors only teach during one semester, allowing them to be fully available for the students, and meaning there is 鈥渃ompelling research work鈥 to be done at all turns. Group projects are filled with 鈥渃onsistently reliable and insightful contributors,鈥 and students here are 鈥渁lways eager to hear viewpoints which are different than their own,鈥 which means 鈥渢he conversations are always conducive for growth.鈥 The administration constantly engages with the students to learn about their experiences at the school, and 鈥渋t鈥檚 not uncommon on any given day to see the dean and associate deans conversing with students and gathering their feedback.鈥
