20 Best Bsn Programs In San Antonio, TX (2022 Updated)

I went to this school in 2007 for an Associate's of Applied Science in Business Office Administration. I completed the program and obtained my degree. Five years later I am still without a job that pertains to my degree. Any employer I go to does not even bother to ask about the degree or seem to care that I have one. It's like having two high school diplomas when you only needed one in the first place. I used Hallmark's career placement services twice and they stopped trying to help me within one month of attempting to utilize their services and were not successful in job placement, which is supposed to be their own job! I have been working customer service jobs with no opportunity for advancement that pay just above minimum wage ever since thanks to Hallmark. I have been using the Texas Workforce to find me the right job with the right pay and am currently receiving unemployment. I am also in the process of trying to get my student loans forgiven, as they have only put me in debt instead of led me down the path towards a happy career. Do not attend this school, it is like high school all over again! Go to one of the Alamo Colleges instead, your money is better invested there! If I would've known I was paying 18k for a useless piece of paper that got me nowhere, I would've told these scammers to shove it a long time ago! Seriously, Alamo Colleges is the way to go! For a better future, go to a REAL college!Amy Love

Hallmark College has give me the tools and necessary knowledge to go and get a job. I graduated back in 1999. As I continue gaining experience and qualifications throughout the years in my aviation career, I keep learning more and moving up the technician ladder. There is no limits in how much you can earn with an AAS in Aviation. I have worked overseas for the past 10 years making a comfortable living . I can pretty much select the company I want to work for or the Country that will be my next home. Seen my work success with just an Associate's degree I decided to finish my Bachelor's with Hallmark and I did! (06/15 ) I did not take any breaks after my graduation I just started my Masters with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Hallmark helped me to reach my goals. You must persevere and focus on what works for you. Do not let others discourage you because they were unsuccessful. You will get an opportunity within time, just make sure you posses the tools and necessary accreditation's (Degree) to do the job. Just be serious about your future and school, do your homework and study. Work on your resume and interview. This is my story and I hope to bring some light to all these hating comments. You be the judge….Jess Jara

Hallmark University College of Aeronautics is a great place to gain knowledge in becoming a Aviation Maintenance Technician. I am currently in my 2nd term here and I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of the university. All of the instructors are incredibly helpful and have years of experience in aviation. The overall curriculum is very fast paced in order for us to get our degree and A&P license quicker, so you must be very dedicated and focused on keeping up in class or you could be quickly left behind. The school has different companies in the aviation field come regularly to recruit students to come work for their company all over the country which gives us many great options once we graduate. Overall, I would recommend this school over any other to anyone who wants to build a career in Aviation Maintenance. I personally moved here to San Antonio from Salt Lake City, UT just to get my education at Hallmark because of the widely known prestige of the school. Gaining your Associates Degree and your A&P license from Hallmark will definitely set you up for a very successful future!William Skelton

The College of health care professions has been nothing but good experiences for me. From the moment you walk in everyone is so welcoming and sweet, to admissions team helping you understand every step of the way and helping you be prepared for what is coming, financial aid team for allowing you to not have to worry about paying for school till AFTER you have graduated from your program. And instructors who will always make sure that you are understanding everything that is being taught, as well as help you become a professional! I graduated in 2018 from Dental Assisting Program and Mrs. Garcia was and will always be an amazing instructor, without her I would not be where I am today. Today I am happy to say that I will be returning to CHCP to further my education and I could not be more excited! CHCP definitely gets you prepared for the career of your lifetime!Gabriela Lopez

I give this school 5 stars this school has literally changed my life! I went in just having questions about the programs available. The next thing you know, I started school that night with the pharmacy program.My program director along with the program teachers were always willing to pass on their knowledge and help in any way. So if you are curious about the programs and are ready to get started walk in and be ready to start! The staff is very welcoming! There are plenty of resources in case you are struggling with homework. The career services are there to answer any questions you may have pertaining to job placement and help you revise your resume. I appreciate everyone that I has helped me get to where I am at now!Elisa Ruiz

I've never had a more wonderful experience in a schooling system. The staff treat you like family and want you to succeed in every way possible. The hands on training was extremely informative, and when I had issues staff replied within 24 hours to help walk me through and/or fix whatever issue I was having. They also work with you to ensure you have options for employment, and before I knew it I was hired on before I was even finished with my MA externship. As long as you put in the work and dedicate yourself to learning the material, this school is honestly a wonderful choice.Max

I am a student in the MOA program and my experience at concorde I would say it has been amazing.The staff are always willing to help the students to help them succeed and answer any questions they have.If anyone ever has a bad day Stacie and Mari are always open to donating some of their time to the students and help them talk about any issues that they need help with in their personal life.The instructors are very aware of their students and make sure that each and everyone is passing their classes.If you need to find a job in order to survive while attending school Ms.Danielle is always open to helping those who need to find one.Since my second MOD I have been a member of the lamplighter program which is a student leadership program where students help one another including their peers in class and help mentor them as well as help them in anything they need.We lamplighters are always at the service of students and staff if there is ever anything they need help with. If anyone is interested you can come to the campus and make an appointment and explore the campus feel free to go on the website and take a look at the programs we at concorde have to offer!Pedro Beltran

The dental hygiene program here is absolutely wonderful. Our teachers and program director are amazing. But I am giving two stars because of the issues I’ve had with financial aid. It feels almost impossible to get an appointment with them and everything is so confusing. I understand everyone is short staffed but I have been trying to get ahold of my financial aid person for a month. Not only are they hard to get ahold of but they have said things such as “you need to get a job” if we ask to take a loan out for living expenses. Don’t they think we would get a job if we could? The program is full time there’s absolutely no time to get a job. I’m honestly just hurt that they treat us that way when we spend 73k on this program.Leah Broyles

I took a night class. The instructor always wanted to go home early. so instead of teaching us hands on, he just read over the instructions. When i and several others in my class took the tour, they said we would practice on dummys before we drew blood on each other. They lied. "The equipment doesnt work" is what we were always told. Towards the end of your last mod they crammed both badge tests and extern sites. We weren't notified if we got into our externs until the last day of class. Really nerve recking to the students who had to quit their jobs or try to notify their jobs of the schedule changes. The extern hours change constantly.Heather Gallagher

Ms. Irene is the best teacher ever, very knowledgeable and she’s a nurse so she’s aware of everything she teaches you! The admin supports you the whole way even with finding a job and keeping you updated. I would definitely recommend this school to anybody. It’s quick to finish, thorough and you leave with confidence. They have prepared me to not only be a nurse assistant but has helped prepare me for nursing school as well. I really appreciate it.Ausia Lewis

the whole staff here is awesome! Mrs Irene is an amazing teacher who genuinely seems to care about the students education and bettering themselves. She made learning this course fairly easy & is more than happy to help with those who get confused. Ricardo was also very helpful in the admissions process. & Ms Juliana helped me out a lot as well. Very thankful for this experience and training provided by these amazing people. 🖤bekka b.

The staff are very awesome” are teacher Irene was so helpful & did very well doing her job teaching us what we needed too learn in the correct way of becoming future CNA. I want too say thank you too everyone in the staff that welcome me with open arms too a better future 😊 Also if you really want real hands on training this the school you need too come too.rosemary saucedo

It saddens me to write this as I had VERY high hopes in WBU… I called the business office today and lets just say professionalism and the representation of WBU was NOT implemented (Ms. Takira). Literally two minutes ago I was told that I’d owe money to WBU due to one class taken however, as I kindly explained no advisor or anyone in the business office nor financial aide office contacted me to explain this otherwise I would have taken more than one class. This new information is disheartening and does not benefit the student. As a Baptists University no one should be left with such a burden, specifically a single mother who’s trying to better her education not incur avoidable debt while doing so. In my opinion, I was robbed of the option to take more than one class this semester and a hold placed every semester (no previous debt). In addition there is a hold on my account that prevents me from registering for any other classes, my advisor left without my knowledge and no one took the time to inform me of this either which would delay processes further. Save your time & funds attend elsewhere because WBU is a Gamble 🙁Four Shades Of Melanin TV

After getting out of the military and looking to expand my education, I encountered many choices until I found out about Wayland. I heard plenty of good reviews from my peers and luckily for me, I found out they were all true. From the beginning my advisor Mr Beard gave me outstanding help and guidance in what I needed to enroll for classes and how to use my military benefits. I started classes a week ago and same goes for my instructors, they have all been really helpful and I'm able to reach out to them if I have any questions. I would recommend this school to anyone!Julio C

Came for a class at 8am. The doors were locked, called security per the sign on the door and security just said "someone should be there". Finally get in and a person at the door pulls out a paper and asks us to sign in. He is at the front desk, nothing to do with the class and tells me he can't understand my name. Never been told that before. Rewrite my name in all caps just to get in class and see that there are other people in the class that didn't have to sign in. Strange and unwelcoming. I would definitely avoid coming here.Ashley Harper

I've had a great opportunity thus far to really expand my knowledge and the classes I have taken up to this point have exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those students that constantly stays in contact with both my professors as well as college staff. I've never had a problem getting in touch with anyone through email, text, office, or (even) cell phone. They've really done an amazing job and I'd highly recommend it . While I can't comment on the other courses they offer, they've certainly surpassed expectations in this particular field (in my opinion).Brenda S

Chris Gutierrez and team with Quest College is Amazing abouslty outstanding in helping me and service they all made me feel very welcomed..Chris Gutierrez was very understanding and new exactly what I needed. Ana all Gonzales helped with financial aid a walk in the Park. I'm a mom of 3 kid's and was worried about going back and the where ,when, how's where all answered…I can't wait for my first day of School ❤️😇🙏 Don't hold back I never will again. One step at a time . Thanks Quest College team 💯Cecilia Gingrich

Ms.zapata you need to start doing better with the students extern hour sheets. I have sat next to my fiancé every single time she’s emailed them to you and you still have the nerve to send her emails saying that you don’t have them. It’s a problem amongst other students as well she’s not the only one. Either start looking in your emails for everyone that’s “Missing” the sheets or have someone that can do the job no problem.Alfred Delgado

Just GRADUATED!!!! 19yrs to the day after my high school graduation date, I have graduated again but this time with a Medical Assistant Certification. During my MA schooling, I got to experience the great lengths this staff will go to check on your well-being and you will be encouraged EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Sometimes the staff lifts you and other times, the AMAZING person sitting next to you in class will inspire you with their daily tribulations. It's never too late and it's never out of reach! I had such an amazing experience that I am already returning at the end of THIS month for Health and Medical Administrative Services program. I'm hitting the gas and this school is helping me on my path 🙂 I appreciate every single one of y'all…..classmates included 😀 Edgar in Career Services is the kind of coach you want in your corner when it comes to facing interview preparation. Yvette and her amazing team in admissions motivated me even when I was hesitant about starting. My father passed away a week after the first day of class and these ladies ALL reached out to me. I did not expect that from a team of individuals, especially after only having met once or not even at all….they just knew I was a student and in need of a wellness check. I can't express the amount of gratitude. Thank you for such an amazing opportunity CHCP!Kristina Martinez

Just finished my certification for the MA program and as of today I am officially a Certified Medical Assistant. Miguel my advisor always made time to help me in every way possible. I would like to thank my instructors, Mrs Blacklock for always making learning fun and Ms Estrada for always being supportive and willing to help. Career services wanting to lend a helping hand so talk to Edgar he'll get you the help you need. Mrs Kim Hernandez for taking the time to ensure we had everything we needed to succeed. Miss Hurt even though I wasn't in your class you always made sure I had everything I needed to make my experience as a student a wonderful one. I can't thank y'all enough. I'm excited for the future and I honestly couldn't have done it without each and every single one of y'all. I would definitely recommend this site and with the different programs they have available I'm sure there is something for you.Jasmin Duran

Compare prices. They say that they are doing "competitive pricing" but I'm not sure, because almost all of these trades/certificates and associates degrees can be completed at half the price they have listed. I think their prices are high simply because they are a "private" college.(Like most private universities do) Alamo colleges offers most of these and they are about 3-7,000 total for either a full two year degrees or even a year for tuition. I also saw another reviewer who listed prices and I looked to be sure, but yes those are correct, maybe off an EXTRA 300 bucks. They have a decent selection of courses and Nice staff .Alex S

Small school, but kept clean. Not a lot of students in a class, which is a good thing. Staff is very helpful and professional. Classes are challenging but many teachers are military with hands on experience in their field. All the teachers I've had had been pretty good. It's an accelerated school so you need to be on top of things. It can be difficult with how much work there is, but you do learn a lot. The school has five hour classrooms 4 days a week. Normally, I wouldn't consider that a good thing, but the school is very upfront about how fast the school is, and the pace allows you to get a Bachelor's degree in 2.5 years. I would recommend this school for anyone looking to get a degree relatively quickly. If you have a lot of time or don't want to get a degree quickly, or don't mind waiting a lot longer to get a degree, this school may not be for you. Overall, it's a good school that has teachers with hands on experience, they have a nice, small, clean campus, and they are very professional.Jaime Silva

Met with my admission adviser Kimberly she was very helpful in answering my questions and well as giving me the information i needed. She was really awesome during the whole process. Thank you Kimberly your doing great.😊👍👏Stacey Meadows

Overall still a great University but I am concerned on their current admission process, qualifications and outreach. The university may be hurting for funds and appears to enroll less than desirable human beings that tarnishes the creed and honor of UIW alumni and successful, hardworking and productive students who have high values and morals. I won't go into great detail due to the graphic disdain and harm to especially those of female identity gender but the safety of all great and innocent students is in question and the output of future students may eventually lead UIW to be a less than desirable educational institution to be associated with…I hope whoever is now in charge is replaced with a leader who knows the difference between their own personal selfish agenda and instead fulfilled by an example of one who Understands integrity and creates those who value society as a whole for the better and harnesses their Strengths and Talents for good and growth of all.asiamoonstar

Love my college! I feel like it is truly a home! Doesn't hurt anything that I am fortunate enough to be a sophomore going to school with my brother and father who are both seniors this year! This college truly cares about you and you life to become a successful graduate! The faculty will always be around to help you achieve a solid GPA! And the grounds are so beautiful with downtown San Antonio being a 5 minute drive away you are at the hub of beautiful city! I am a student going for a master's degree in accounting and am so fortunate as to find many mentors here! I would absolutely recommend this college to be your first choice at better a better education! As well as receiving financial aid that I have a free ride for my first 3 out of 5 years!Sarah Sifuentes

****** Bad experience…… suspicious person in parking lot and campus police will not take a report. The guy was trying to take my truck tonneau cover. Parking lot close the Goreman Bldg. (Parking area near Hildebrand) . Every One that works for the university extremely nice/helpful. I had a wonderful experience with all staff. I was late to the cafeteria and the worker helped me after they were close. He re-opened and gave me a much needed bottle of water. What a wonderful place to be.Sylvia Cortez

School tells lies. I moved there once specifically for a program directly on their website called Criminal Justice Forensics. It was a two year program. I was interested in Forensics at the time and wanting to transfer to a university and study Forensic Science. When I finished all the regular CJ classes and got ready to take the "Forensics" classes, I noticed that none of them were on the class schedule, so I did a little research and noticed that the classes never showed on any of the archived class schedules as well. I got that far in the program to not have an Forensics classes at all, even the "internship" they wanted you to do was at MADD. Laughable. What does drunk driving have to do with Forensic Science? Then the women at the MADD office were too gossipy, and they had absolutely nothing for us to do. It totally wasn't worth my time. This is what makes community colleges so bad. I went to advising, and the woman started giggling knowing I had been duped and made up some lies about some kind hearted people starting the program then stopped it due to low enrollment but forgot to take it off the website curriculum, yada yada yah. It's now off the website, but I wasted precious time and money. This would never have happened at a university without them notifying students. Also, SAC was on the verge of losing accreditation as well then and lied and stated your credits would still transfer. Not an honest experience. They do have a nice swimming pool though.Pllm30

DO NOT GO HERE. IT IS A CURSE. if i could give SAC -5 stars i would. they are absolutely no help. they don’t call, text or email when you request assistance & will run you in loops just for someone to tell you they cannot help you. San Antonio College has some of the absolute worst staff I have ever encountered in my entire life. the entire process each semester is so incredibly daunting and they leave you to figure it out on your own – 0 assistance from them. but somehow they will remind you to no avail when it is time to pay! save yourself the mental anguish, it’s worth paying more to attend a better college like UTSA in the long run.Corrin Aviv

4 years had to deal with staff failing the class because it was are fault. How is it are fault when you don't want to teach or willing to put effort. How is it are fault when systems and programs shut down due to errors and not having an alternative solution. When a teacher looks at you and out loud for anyone in the class to hear "why are you still here? There is no point of you staying get out" at that point what's the point of coming back again when they care is their pokects not the education they are supposed to provide. Don't come here it's a money pit!Fernando Mendez

It's a state of art facility. When you enter the lobby last thing come to your mind it's to be in a hospital. It's like opened yesterday. Clean and spotless. Has a great cafeteria if you want a coffee or a quick bite. Went there for the Covid vaccine, the process is so smooth and fast. Really friendly people working there and they care about you. I used the UT San Antonio before, school of dentistry, same thing, great care for you. I'm really proud to have UT here in my city.J Andrade

The employees at the front desk are some of the most rude people I have ever encountered. As a student, I am just trying to get healthcare services at a convenient location, but I would rather drive out than deal with the unprofessionalism at this office.K J

COVID VACCINE I brought my mom to get her Covid vaccine, I am so glad of the organization, the quick smooth process… special thanks to the people that is working every minute to make sure this process is smooth… Didn’t post pics for respect to othersJorge and Katy Palomino

Starting out I was so nervous and even unsure about me completing the program due to my heavy work schedule, however I did it & became certified making a pretty penny lol I even got a job at North Central Baptist Hospital the day of our graduation & I owe so much to Mr. Travis & to the others that encouraged me to stick with it. I had a ball in our class, I met so many great people along the way & I absolutely recommend getting your new start right here & right now. It was a great pleasure. Thanks again for everything.Nic Lashay

I highly recommend to anyone looking to become a cna Mr. Travis really made sure we knew what we were doing especially when it came down to skills portion didn’t make it stressful and was very patient to help until it was done correctly. He took time to get one on one with those who may have needed it a bit more but never made anyone feel like they couldn’t instead gave the confidence needed to become a CNA.jennifer estrada

Mr. Travis did a really very good job for explaining clearly the contents that were helpful and easy to understand. I passed all of my tests so easily and now I have my license and enjoy to make money from it. So, again thank you Mr. Travis may God bless you, your family, and Center for Excellence Nursing Assistant Training. I highly recommend every one to go and experience that, never disappointed.Gisele Mbuyi

I recently completed the nurse aide training class.The Institute of Allied Healthcare was top-notch from their intake process through receiving my certificate of completion. I’m happy I chose Allied Healthcare as the school to obtain nurse aide training. Their staff was always friendly and helpful. My instructor (Miss Mary) was amazing! I feel extremely lucky to have had her teaching my class. She gave us real world examples and ensured we were prepared for both the State written and skills exams. I passed both the written and skill exams on my first try. I'm now a Certified Nurse Aide! I owe so much to my experience at Allied Healthcare both in the classroom and at the clinical site. Allied Healthcare also offered great resume writing assistance as well as an awesome career day where multiple companies came to the school to present to the students. I enjoyed my experience with Allied Healthcare so much that I am now enrolled in their Medical Assistant training program!Deitra

I went to train for my CNA license as a precursor to nursing school back in 2017. This school is smaller than some of the other CNA schools available, but I was thoroughly impressed with the administration and staff at this school! Everyone from the top down was exceptional and had the same goal in mind to help you from start to finish and assist with finding work afterwards. I recently went back to renew my CPR certification, and was happy to see some of my old instructors. Brought back great memories. I love this school and would recommend it to anyone!!❤️April Wagner

First off, this school has one of the most competitive tuition for the CNA program in town! And it's conveniently located by the medical center. They have two sessions that you can choose to go to, one in the morning and one in the evening. I went during the evening and it was a experience where I looked forward to going to. They had two rooms to practice skills, and they will assist you as long as it takes until you feel comfortable knowing the skills you must do for the state boards. This is a great school to go to and I high recommend it!shoya Kinjo

This is wonderful school. The instructors are the best, they make you feel that you are welcome. I recommend this place to everyone that will like to improve theirs life.boss man

I will update this periodically for anyone in SA looking for ABSN options. I think the program is in its infancy stages or the faculty does not teach but rather assigns readings. While reading does help you learn, I believe it is the responsibility of professors and faculty to help identify important information that is applicable to the real world. If you cannot apply what you learn, what is the point in doing it? Faculty so far is not effective at teaching students where information is applicable to the real world. I am sure faculty is knowledgeable but perhaps not good at teaching, maybe functionaries.J C

The clinic is great when I get there. It's clean and set up for covid standards which I really appreciate. They have always been on time when I've gone which is very surprising but a big plus The only down side is that don't answer the phones or return voice messages. I was trying to get an appointment and ended up just going in person to schedule.Mell Seitz

An outstanding college that utilized synergy! I attended San Antonio College in the past and it really derailed my path. Years later I would find myself earning two degrees in just two years and one semester followed by a third degree at Palo Alto achieved during that summer. The educators and staff really work hard to get you where you need to be. My best advice is to study well and do everything you can ahead of time to prepare, whether it being to register or see an adviser. Be the first one there to reduce your waiting time and do not procrastinate. Thank you NWV College! Go WILDCATS!!jack sparrow
