Is the University of Texas at Dallas a good school?

Is the University of Texas at Dallas a good school?
I am a UTD student and a relative of mines goes to Cornell University and I saw that Cornell is like a really high top rank university. UTD is like a new school it was founded in 1969, I know top ranked universities were made like in the 1700s, but I really want to know if UTD can be a top ranked univeristy like a school that is really really known and stuff. I know the best school in Texas is UT at Austin but can or is UTD a really good top ranked school or really known? UTD is kindof new b/c they just made a dining hall and a residence hall there last year and built apartments there a few years ago. I think because it is a young school it is not a really known school, but I don't know. for ppl who are trying to make me look stupid, I already post this in higher education.

so you ask in travel and not higher education? utd is the place for you. you don't need help.

The funny thing is once you get out in the real world most employers don't care where you went to college. I've never been asked in any interview about the university I went to or even what I majored in. They just care that you have a degree. UTD is a good school. Your relative just wants to feel secure with the $90,000+ in student loans they'll have to pay off when they graduate. Cornell was founded in 1865. Caltech, Cal Berkeley, Pepperdine, Harvey Mudd, USC, UCLA and all the top tier West Coast universities were mostly created in the late 1800's, early 1900's. The best school in Texas is Rice University as much as it pains me to say that. They have top notch math and engineering programs. Top ranked colleges get that distinction because of many things. How many Nobel prize winners went there or teach there, how many doctoral programs they offer, how picky they are with admissions, endowment, research grants, important discoveries, etc, etc. That stuff does take time to acquire.

Your question doesn't sound like it was written by a college student. No, UTD is not a top ranked, well known school, and it will never compare to Cornell, but there's nothing wrong with UTD and the tuition is certainly a lot less.

Kevin and Joe graduated high school! and nick is home schooled...he's FAMOUS. srry but did u think u were going to go to school with them?


3
Joe and Kevin are grads and Nick is a DEFINITE possibility he won't go to Public school because he will get mobbed and they go on tours remember! He won't have time to go to school during the day. Peace Love Jonas Hope i helped

nick is homes schooled. joe && kevin graduated high scholl already.


5
well first of all joe and kevin graduated. Maybe nick will go maybe not but more than likely for his safety no. Even though some people may claim they wont treat him different they more than likely will. Have you seen half the things fans have written about doing when they would see nick. Every girl will not be able to concentrate. For his safety and the girls education I doubt it


6
nick more than likely continued to get home schooled...as for frankie...with being as famous as they are...theres no way that they could survive going back to public school...at least thats what i would think

I go to school in Arlington, Texas... so we're neighbors :) But in order to graduate from the state of Texas, you only need 24 credits. To graduate under the Recommended/ Distinguished Program, you should have 26. But the bare minimum is still 24 credits.


2
It depends. YOUR graduation requirements STICK depending on the year you entered the 9th grade. So if the requirement was 24 during the school year that you entered 9th grade, then it still is for you. However, if you entered 9th grade in the 2007-2008 school year, you have to complete 26 credits for the recommended graduation route. It looks like they have a "fast track program" that is only 22, but I am SURE this has a LOT of restrictions. Check out the link below; it details all the requirements for you :)

You need 26 credits to graduate recommended or distingushed and like 21 credits to graduate minum!

UTA is very good in this. but with business admin, you cant go wrong with any good school. I think you can even take this at TCC.


2
if you want more of a college experience, then you will want to go to UTA. I live about 10 mins from UTD (when i'm not at college), and UTA is much more like a college. UTD doesn't have any dorms, but rather apartments. So that alone is a huge part of a college experience. Also, Arlington also has Ranger Stadium and Six Flags...great things to do on the weekends!


3
I graduated from UTA and did graduate work at UTD. If you are going to live on campus and want the full college experience, go to UTA. If you basically want a commuter college, go to UTD.


4
UTD is known for its math, engineering and science. It is a Division III school, with smaller classes, a pretty tough admissions policy (like calculus is required for admission), and a great sports program in soccer, baseball and other sports. UTA is the second largest college in the Texas system. It is an NCAA Div I-AA school. Admissions is not so selective. I would recommend that you visit both campuses. Both have a high degree of day students. From the perspective of which is better from the perspective of reputation on the job market, I cannot tell you.

Salaries are set by the local school boards. Check the school district web sites in the Dallas area. They usually have the salary schedule listed as well as any openings. For housing, get in touch with a realtor in the area. www.dallasisd.org www.dallassd.com


2
beginning teacher salary from $34000 to $37000;


3
They start about $42,000 with no experience. I suggest submitting you application. Look on the web and you will find the pay schedule for a teacher of 8 years . I Think u would be around 43-45K


4
The salary range is very wide in the DFW area depending on how far away you get from downtown proper. There are tons of suburb ISD's that are much less stressful and pay almost as well as Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD (don't rule the Fort Worth area out, it's much too close). Very outskirt towns will pay just above state base (don't quite know what that is - perhaps the 25,000 to 30,000 range), but as you move closer it goes up. The district just north of where I live is paying 44,000 to 1st year teachers. The one I live in is paying about 42,000 to 1st year teachers. And the one I work for is paying about 40,000 to 1st year teachers. Really the best place to start is to go to the region service center websites - Dallas is region 10 and Fort Worth is region 11 - and link to the district sites from there. Pull up a map of the DFW area to get an idea of where districts are - you can easily live in one and work in another (I drive 20 minutes to work, leave one district and pass through 2 more to get to the one I work in). Each district website will have a link to human resources (at least the majority will) to take a look at salary schedules and possible job openings. Just to let you know, Fort Worth does not post individual positions. Dallas may have the same policy. There are just so many jobs available in both districts that they simply cannot post them all; they just take applications. Here's the link to get you started: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/ESC/?8234398102229Nav=|&NodeID=231 Good luck!!! Actually, here are the more direct links: Region 10: http://www.region10.org/r10_districts_map.html Region 11: http://www.esc11.net/8234398102229/site/default.asp?823Nav=|&NodeID=119

Well, I am in California, but since nobody from TX has answered you yet, I thought I would! :) There are many schools in many states where you can get trained to be a radiologic technologist (the proper term for a x-ray tech). You can attend a hospital based program (and earn a certificate), a 2 year college program (AS degree), and even a 4 year college program (BS degree). The hospital based programs are the least expensive, and honestly, I think the education received there is superior. Once you graduate and take your registry exam, no future employer is going to care what type of educational program you went through. All they care about is your license. You can find an accredited RT program at this site. Just search "radiography" and your state...links are provided which will give you additional information on each program (cost, duration of program, contact person): http://www.jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp There are two accredited RT programs in Dallas. RTs do more than just x-rays of bones. We do fluoroscopy studies (involving the intestinal tract and barium), arthrograms (assisting the radiologist with injecting contrast or dye into joints for evaluation) and myelograms (assisting the radiologist with injecting contrast into the spinal canal). If you work in a hospital setting, you will do portable exams in ICU, CCU, the ER and even surgery. Some RTs take x-rays in the morgue. Most RTs will also become proficient and licensed in other modalities, such as mammography, CT and/or MRI. This training does not require any additional formal training, and is usually learned on the job. The more licenses you have, the more money you can make, as you will be in higher demand. With additional schooling, you can also do ultrasound. Well, I work in a free standing imaging center. My office is only open M-F, 8:00-5:00. No weekends, nights or call work. In a hospital, most imaging departments are staffed 24 hours a day. You could be scheduled to work nights, PM shifts, weekends, holidays....anytime really! I highly recommend you do an observation in both a hospital imaging department and a free standing imaging facility. Until you see what RTs do, you won't know if it is the job for you! It would also give you a wonderful opportunity to talk to RTs in your area. Best wishes..... Oh, another good resource....check out the student area of the ASRT website: https://www.asrt.org/Content/educators/_educatorsstudents.aspx The American Society of Radiologic Technologists just did a large salary survey. The salary varies, depending on your experience, specialties and geographical area. To view, the survey, and see the average salary in your state, you can go to this link: https://www.asrt.org/media/pdf/research/wss2007/wss07annualcompensation.pdf

All online colleges are scams, they aren't accredited like a community college. First get your GED, the test isn't that hard its like 9th grade english. Then go to community college. Please note certain classes have to be in person, like math, if its a real school.


2
The other person obviously doesnt know what they are talking about. Yes, some online schools are scams, but some arent! You do NOT have to attend a school for a course like math! I am enrolled through a local college and take math online! Its harder but It is possible! Here is the site for the Department of Education, if you find a school check here at this website and with the B.B.B. before enrolling to make sure its not a scam! I also put the link for University of Phoenix, I know 5 people who have graduated from there with Bachelor degrees and are making decent money, my sister is currently enrolled there. (and yes for most schools you have to have a G.E.D. or Diploma) It's easy and only like $40 to take it!
