Lamar University

Lamar University Online MBA Program Review - If you are looking for an old-school, out-dated circiculum, this might be for you. If you are looking for an up-to-date, modern program (textbooks from the last decade, software from this decade, etc.), I would recommend that you look elsewhere. Completed just one couse, started the second and was so disappointed to see the trend of 2000's textbooks (2004, 2008, etc.) and materials continue. The two stars are for the staff - the MBA program coordinator, the admissions team - 5 stars. Helpful and nice people. Wish the professors and the program designers had the same concern about student success in the business world.

I completed my master’s degree online through Lamar University and had a great experience overall. The program was well-organized, flexible for working students, and supported by knowledgeable faculty. A strong choice for anyone pursuing a quality online graduate degree.

Daughter is a Freshman there this year. I’m completely impressed with the campus And the dorms are amazing never seen ones so nice. The student resources are the highlight for me, the learning lab for learning disabilities is simply perfect. The leader for this department is best I’ve ever encountered personally with care for the students and the protection they deserve and providing tools for them to overcome any challenges they will face.

We had a good time here tonight as spectators of the Lamar University vs. Central Arkansas University football game. Tough loss for Lamar tonight but Coach Blaine Morgan obviously has the Cardinals headed in the right direction!

the hayes biology building had no water at the water fountain, the bathrooms had flies in the toilet and the testing center hallway and bathroom smelled of commode water and cologne

I tried to get info on transferring from my current master's program. I filled out the info on the website and then used the link they sent me to schedule an appointment. Then I kept getting calls to schedule an appointment. Someone called me 20 minutes before my appointment and tried to book me with someone else even though I told her I had been receiving confirmations and reminders. Obviously she gets credit for booking people. Then Karen Rojas called me at my appointment time and asked me twice if I knew we had an appointment. I asked if the program was COAMFTE accredited. She didn't know what that was and said she needed to reschedule me to answer that. I googled it and said that it was so we continued. When I asked if their program only has the 60 hour masters for the TX required hours or if they allowed shorter programs for licensing requirements in other states. My state only requires a 45 hour masters. She told me I would have to talk to someone in licensing. My question wasn't a licensing question. It was a question about the program. She said several things, one of them being that I should only take 45 credits. When I asked her if that would get me a degree she said no. When I asked what she had meant she said she only ever said they had a 60 hour program. I told her that I had the information I needed to make my decision and ended the call. It was the most frustrating 13 minutes I've invested in a while.

One of the worst universities for Veterans to attend. The Veteran's Affairs office is extremely unresponsive through email, and you can barely reach them via phone. Once you finally speak to someone, you'll get contradicting or misleading information. They also will not report the accurate number of hours you are taking to the VA Dept of Edu. Class is supposed to start at the end of the month, and they still haven't reported the correct number of hours. Not to mention, since I am a grad student, the advisors are responsible for registering you for classes. I find this to be unproductive since they take a week or more to even respond back. Overall, I am not happy with this university and will likely drop my classes and go elsewhere to receive an education.
