Honestly, I never thought I would end up going to UTA. When I was a senior in high school, I remember applying to UTA because it was close to home and I knew that I was going to be eligible for scholarships they offered and thought it would be affordable. Now, As a junior at UTA, I am glad I applied to UTA. I love the campus, the diversity, and the atmosphere. UTA is a really diverse campus that offers its students many opportunities to grow as leaders and is growing with new and better things.

The most attractive feature of the degree program I took at UTA, was the online nature of the courses. Almost every course except one was well designed and presented in a way that enhanced the learning process.
