What I'm a little confused about is how UT Austin can be THAT much different (better) than UT Arlington. Aren't these based on the same school? (UT?). I relocated from Indy just 4 months ago so I know the program you're talking about from Kelley but man, I just can't get past spending 3 years getting an MBA... too long!

Thanks to all of you for your responses!
I agree that UT Austin is very expensive. However, I also attended their info sessions and the professors are the same as the full time program, so don't worry. Curriculum is different because there are few career changers in this UT Austin DFW program, same as Houston program. UT has 13 campuses, and they vary vastly! UT austin is not in the same league with the rest, in almost every field of study.

Oh to clarify, the Kelley program takes 20 - 36 months and most students finish in only 2 years.

Good luck man, no matter which you choose.

the professors who teach at UT Austin and the students who are accepted there make all the difference between UT Arlington and UT Austin---
and while their curricula might READ the same in the catalogues I doubt that it is taught the same...

regarding Amberton University--I know two people who have done the course work and gotten an MS through there in years past when it was named Amber University--frankly within THEIR companies--that MS was not highly regarded--whether that is valid perception or not--I am not judging--I am only reporting what was passed along to me--

If you can't afford TCU or SMU or UTD then I think you would be better served to get degree from UTA or UNT
Texas Weslyan U also offers an MBA, an MS in healthcare admin, and an M I M

the tuition hours start at 500 plus fees and are higher for MIM and MS classes...but look less than UNT graduate tuition
