10 Best Mph 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

If I could give this school a -5 I would. I made the worst decision transferring to this school. To put it simply there is SO MUCH inconsistency and ignorance within the advising and financial aid departments. I had to go to the financial department so many times and no one could tell me what to fix exactly. In fact, they took copies of my federal documents and apparently lost them leaving me to resend these in email. Big problem, especially considering that’s my SS number on those documents. Finally I got in touch with Delia who also wasn’t very helpful but eventually we sorted everything out. My advisor Allison failed to give me all the needed information pushing my graduation back. On top of that advising was not aware of class changes in my major. Finally if you are a working student do not go here. Classes are very limited and not flexible. It was hard to find evening classes let alone online classes (COVID did help with that because now online classes are offered). I’ve also registered for classes and built my work schedule around those only for a Professor to decide not to meet. This school is unorganized and does not care about their students. I tried reaching multiple deans and did not get ahold of anyone. I am so pleased that I’m finally graduating from this terrible school. By the way this is coming from a student with a 3.9 GPA who has never fallen behind in payments for class.Miranda G

If you’re on the fence between this campus and another CHOOSE THE OTHER. I’ve met a few great people but most of the staff are rude, the parking expenses are outrageous considering the distance you still have to walk without a shuttle provided. There’s hardly a cafe and the prices are RIDICULOUS. The admissions, financial aid, welcome center and advising center are NEVER opened when they say they will be and when you leave voicemails they never leave call back. It’s my senior year and I can’t register for the spring semester due to a “6 drops remaining hold” … definitely something they need to take care of from their end but I’m a sitting duck and risking losing my desired schedule due to their unprofessionalism.. Overall, I’d give this campus a 2/10. Very ghetto, would not recommend. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE.Brandi Lynn

I have been at this University for 2 semesters and I have had a great experience thus far. Every Professor I have had had been very attentive to any question or concern I have had that particular course. Some of the artwork that can be found throughout the University is outstanding. From oil on canvas, embroidery work, and statues are first class. If you happen to visit the campus, do yourself a favor and visit every building just to get a glance at the artwork. The campus continues to grow at a rapid rate but they have been able to manage their growth very well. At the current time, it feels like you're in the outskirts of town, but I'm sure and the next 10 to 20 years it will be surrounded by commerce.Karma Candle Makers

I'm not sure what's going on with ophthalmology department. I went for my eye exam, paid my co pay. Got exam for glasses and contacts. About a week later received a bill for $75 for contact fittings. I had a follow up visit, which I should not been charged a co pay but I had to pay $35 for follow up. I tried to dispute it and I kept being told the insurance had changed. Even the Doctor agreed with me that i should have not been charged for either, it was covered by SuperiorVision. Verified with insurance and it had not changed. They finally admitted that I should have not paid for follow up. Requested that my $35 be refunded to directly. According to them they could not refund because I had a $75 balance. I made a claim with the insurance and received the money back. In the notes for the check it read: (PR-45) & (Co-45)"Charge exceeds fee schedule/maximum allowable or contracted/legislated fee arrangement". UT Health ophthalmology is over charging patient, many of whom are elderly. Taking advantage of people. They need to retrain or train correctly the person's working the in their department. They are overcharging , regardless what the insurance companies rules are. I do not recommend department to anyone or give this department any stars, I had to enter at least one star because it didn't let me post without. This department needs to be looked over and make sure it is following insurance policies and not overcharging customers.Pat Guevara

Very disappointing experience with the UT Health Cardiology Department. Dr. Traktenbroit suggested I have a cardiology stress test and an at home ECG test, called a ZIO test. I spoke with at least six different departments within UT Health & University Health And was unable to get test codes So I could get a cost estimate for the tests through my insurance company, prior to actually having the test performed. I called my insurance company and asked if they could contact the physician and different testing departments. They were also unable to get any type of cost estimate. With anything else in life you know what the cost will be before you pay for it, but in the medical profession you’re supposed to trust them and not know how much your out of pocket cost is going to be until you get a bill in the mail. Ludicrous! Also, there are 3 different types of stress tests. The most expensive one being the one that includes injecting nuclear medicine through an IV. Oh course, this is the test the Dr. ordered. Chest pains or shortness of breath are usually the reason for a stress test. I did not report having either. From what I’ve researched a CT scan of your heart is better at finding blockages than a stress test. I had one performed a few years ago and the cost was much less than having a nuclear stress test done.C W

This review is for the billing department. I do my best to pay my bills in full and when I can’t, I call to make payment arrangements. I don’t know about everyone else, but I have insurance with a high deductible and out of pocket maximum. This billing department boggles the mind. I received a letter from a collections office that I had a bill that I had not made a payment for. The service was in February of this year for a total amount $600. I keep all correspondence from bills that I paid or am paying and not once did I receive a letter stating that I owed this amount. What kind of billing department doesn’t send out bills? This is not the first time they have pulled this shenanigan. I got them to admit in the previous billing conflict that they hadn’t sent out a bill. This is a shady practice of not sending a bill but sending my or our information to a collections agency. I take my credit score very seriously. I don’t want it tainted because of a neglectful department/employee. This department needs a quality audit. I am sure they would find many issues that need to be addressed but haven’t been.Rachele Cuellar

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

It takes a loooooooong time for UTSA to get to top tier universities despite the fact they had this mission for over 7 years now. The focus of the university is on first generation students and undergraduates. Over 30,000 students enrolled in the last year but only roughly 750 students were at Doctoral level. Based on my personal experience and my colleagues experiences, despite some decent rankings that university tries to refer as the sign of the progress, many departments are not up to the National or International standards.Marzieh Jafary

Excellent University to get your bachelors degree! I graduated from there with two Business degrees (1998) and higher education will change your life! The professors there are exceptional and taught me so many things, and a variety of knowledge I am using (even after years and years! ) today on a daily basis. My professor always laughted that he was throwing out "Pearls of Wisdom!" – it is true. 90 plus percent of my professors had their Doctorate degree.CL Logan

They were not able to process my application in time because they were being incredibly slow with processing my transcripts. They then proceeded to edit dates that I reached out to them (2 months later than reality) to make their timelines look better. Unbelievably immoral conduct for which I am not sure I am still able to trust them with my education.Felix Kraemer

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

Of all the campuses in the city Trinity is the one I know the least about but it has actually left a very lasting impression on me. When I first moved to the city a lot of the young men I was hanging out with at the time were playing for or trying to play for the Trinity Football squad, who as I understood it was a great team. Now I rarely run into any Trinity students but that's not to say that they aren't out there. But I guess my whole point is this…These students that I met were really great individuals who were grounded in their belief that the school they were going to, truly offered them the greatest chance at a promising future. When that sentiment is echoed across so many people it speaks volumes to the level of educational excellence being accomplished at Trinity University.Atlee Urquhart

We are celebrating our daughter's graduation this weekend and started with a beautiful Vespers service followed by the President's Reception for the graduates. I had not attended Vespers before, and this service incorporated many of the various beliefs held by students such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Students played and sang beautifully and the Chaplain spoke inspiring words. The ceremony had delicious heavy hors d'oeuvres including chicken, empanadas, and desserts.Karen Pynes

Genuinely love this place. The staff are all the nicest people you will ever meet. The faculty is incredible. Very quirky but very intelligent and always willing to help the students. The campus is beautiful and unlike any other college campus. Plus it's minutes from downtown San Antonio so there is plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself into the San Antonio community. 10/10 would recommend.Samantha Skory

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
