University of Tulsa

I graduate in December of 2025, while there are several professors within the Oxley college of Nursing and Health Science that are stellar and excellent professors, the administration staff leaves very much to be desired. There are multitudes of double standards on communication and professionalism. While Oxley College as a while is highly attentive to professionalism of the students, there is little concern or accountability for the Accelerated BSN program instructors.

Emails go unanswered, meeting... Read More requests are refused or video meetings are conducted by TU staff members from behind the wheel of a vehicle, the level of unprofessionalism and lack of accountability provide a very inconsistent and in many cases risky environment.

Material in the ABSN program is not covered nor interacted with by most instructors, several quoting that they did not author their courses and are unable to do more than click to approve grades or grade written assignments.

The University of Tulsa Oxley College of Nursing and Health Science Accelerated BSN program fosters a competitive yet hostile education environment where "don't question us" has become the norm. This has been one of the most dissapointing experiences out of multiple universities I have attended.

I enjoyed my time at the University of Tulsa. I appreciated the small class sizes and the professor to student ratio. My professors were always available during their office hours to help if I had any questions. There was a writing lab for free that prof read assignments. Game days were also great, and the University of Tulsa gave free tickets to students for all sports. I felt supported in so many ways. University of Tulsa has a safe campus, and many options of jobs in the area. Tulsa is not a college...

I had a terrible experience here due to the incompetence of the faculty staff. The instructors and professors were not very helpful. I sent many emails and visited frequently one of my lab instructors but he was never answered. Two of my professors would call out other students and their privates loudly in class. They teaching styles were so ambiguous, I had more help from tutors and Google. One even accused me of plagiarism without checking it through a plagiarism checker and receiving all my drafts... Read More and revisions. The financial aid office was extremely disrespectful to me since I had unexpected financial troubles. They only told me I could not attend next semester and shut me out. I had my parents call and speak with the manager in order to get something done. My academic advisor was the only positive experience. She helped me with any general questions I had and understood my troubles as a first-year student. I thought for it being a private school, they would treat their students better than others. That was not the case, since I had a better experience at a community college.

I was always in love with music. However, due to the competitive nature of a music career, I was reluctant on pursuing a music degree. That's when I found out that the University of Tulsa had it set up where a student was able to get a music degree while taking rigorous math classes. The music program is very close knit, my average class size was 5 people, so I was able to get to know a lot of my professors on a personal level and still text them today. In addition, the small class sizes did not... Read More deter me from making connections. Because of the many extracurricular activities and events that go on around campus, I was able to meet many wonderful people. Scholarships were wonderful too: I got a scholarship that covered tuition, room & board, and "dining dollars" which were money to spend on food at the student union. If you are a high achieving student, I would definitely recommend the University of Tulsa for your undergraduate.

I truly could not have chosen a better school for pursuing my degree. I had already heard so many great things about the school and throughout my time as an undergraduate, I came to understand why. The professors are all really invested in their students, and really want them to succeed. One of the ways The University of Tulsa does a great job is with the classroom size. The most students I think I ever had in a classroom was about 40 students, but most of the time the average was 20. In this way,... Read More the professors got to know the students on a more personal level, which made it so much easier for them to help students with classwork. I always felt extremely comfortable contacting my professors any time with questions regarding classwork, and most of them responded within a few hours. The classes themselves were hard at times, but all of them were full of information I will need to succeed as a speech language pathologist in the near future.

The graduate program for speech-language pathology at the University of Tulsa has many pros. Coming from a large undergraduate program, I value the small class size and professor to student direct interaction the speech-language pathology program offers. In addition, I am becoming clinically and academically successful. Daily, we engaged in clients and class work which helps us train and implement what we are learning. In addition to clinical and classes we are also developing a research thesis which... Read More will be completed upon graduation from the program. I was able to choose a topic within the scope of speech-pathology and will be researching and writing on the topic until the due date in January 2016. Overall, the speech-language pathology program at the University of Tulsa has allowed me to excel in multiple ways and is preparing me to excel in my future career as a speech-language pathologist. The most recognized con of graduate school at the University of Tulsa is the cost of tuition. Being a private college, tuition exceeds that of state institutions. I am currently applying loans to my education, and am searching for scholarship money to help with my financial needs. I would be so grateful for a financial reward to assist me financially. As a graduate student I am unable to hold a job during schooling due to the heavy school load. With tuition, housing rent, and other billing finances, a financial reward would assist me in balancing all my financial needs and using the financial award money towards my graduate school tuition. I could not imagine myself at any other graduate school receiving my masters degree in speech-language pathology. Aside from the expensive tuition, the program has challenged me academically and continues to make me a better future professional in the field. I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in a great school.
