I was an adjunct here. I have taught at UTSA , Trinity and St.Mary's. I would not recommend to come here if you are a serious student and looking for research opportunities. The research is a joke here. I was a judge at their annular poster competition where the students highlight their research. The higher authorities are kind of blind towards cheating/plagiarizing and they reprimand the faculty if it is reported. I am not sure how that goes with Catholic-Marianist principle. I thought being ethical is one of the important tenets of Catholic-Marianists. Most of the students who are here , are trying to buy a degree. The student quality is very low. Since the university only earns from the student revenue , I understand their helplessness. From my conversation with students , I found out many have DACA status. I am not sure if this place is deliberately admitting DACA students. I am thinking to report this to the immigration authority and the senators.
This university is a degree mill. Please don't destroy your future by going here. Middle-eastern students (particularly from Saudi Arabia) who are kicked out of UTSA get admitted here. You can cheat here and still get a degree. SWRI has stopped recruiting from its Computer Science Program. You will only see Indian students in the Master's program in Computer Science A 2 weeks Physics course is accounted for 1 regular semester physics course. It is also a refuge for illegal immigrants from Mexico. I also want to add the Mechanical Engineering Program and the Engineering Science Program is ABET unaccredited. I can tell more
To the alumni that posted comments relative to smoking and ABET accreditation, I would like to share the following in my role as SET Dean:
I wish I can give a zeo star.Rampant sexual abuse , faculty abuse , cheating goes on here. Female faculty members are discriminated. The Higher admin is corrupt and unethical particularly engineering and science. They are running a degree mill and bunch of unaccredited programs. The students who are kicked out from UTSA gets admission there mostly from countries like Saudi Arabia . Their lip-service to marianist culture is laughable. I can write more. Don’t go there and destroy your future.
1. We have become an almost no-tobacco usage campus. The many cigarette butts around our buildings prompted me to become one of the principal architects of the policy that has been in place for over a year. As with major shifts, culture change does take a little time! Having said that, I do not recall anybody complaining about the cigarette butts.
They force you to take Nazi Salute in one of their events. Can you believe this ? Go and check their convocation or whatever the event is before the Fall Sem starts. It is disgusting to see ROTC students ( who will serve US army)are made a part of this. And this is a Catholic-Marianist place !!!!! Speaking English here is a crime. Scams with federal money goes on in the name of Hispanic Serving Institution. Before admission, they show some labs to students and their parents, but your kid will never use the equipment when he or she will be in the program. But the real joke is on Title X. If you complain against a higher admin for discrimination and abuse you have faced, then you see the drama. Your life will be made hell. Below some people have said about how cheating and plagiarizing is overlooked. This was never a surprise. They actually encourage this. These students are source of their revenue. In one of the department , in the whole semester only two question was given as homework and that same two question is given in the final exam. Welcome to the diploma printing machine !!!!!!
2. The Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering programs have been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET since 1983, 1986, and 2009 respectively. This information is publicly posted on our site and ABET's. Now that we have graduates from the Mechanical Engineering program, we will be submitting that for initial review in January 2018.
As always, I welcome direct contact from our alumni, this is helpful in our quest for excellence!
If it is baseless, why even bothering to reply here.? Why don't you comment about your unaccredited programs ? Why Southwest Research has stopped recruiting from your Computer Science ? Why UTHSCSA , the local medical school has stopped the direct Medical school admission program from St.Mary 's ? Did you tell that to your Biology majors ? Why do you have to recruit a person from inside to be your Provost ? That too an Associate Professor ? All kind of discrimination and abuses were reported to Title X. But at the end Title X authority who is also the HR (surprised !) after meeting with the management speaks a different tone. How about the rampant use of drugs in student dorms ?
