I enjoyed the campus. I feel well informed and that majority of the staff were happy to assist me. I think the campus could use a couple of marketers to help promote how great the school is to more students. Campus feels cozy inside the Austin city skyline. Looks like more improvements to class rooms are on the way. Adult Degree Program is informative and flexible, with a few bumps.

A small HBCU in Austin, Texas that has been around since 1875. Small campus, student/teacher ratio is small compared to a larger university. Plus, can also get your MBA here. Athletic program consists of basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, track, and also Army ROTC.

I have been going to this school for 2 years. So far, the only problem I have encountered is the office staff, Strickland, who is in charge of completing paperwork to get your chapter 35/ military financial aid, has a slow process and needs frequent reminders in order to do so. However, the students, campus organizations, and professors are beyond amazing.

The adult degree program is a joke . The recruiters never give you all the information . I did not find out every class requires a group project until after I started . The first class they made me take was an introduction to college class and I am a senior in college . That class cost me 1400 and the professor was constantly talking about history and not the course work . Also encouraging students to use Wikipedia as an academic resource amongst other things .The second class I took the students were all on their phones and their attitudes and behaviors despite most being over 30 were equivalent to middle schoolers . The professor Mr.Mosley did not teach the topic in the class health psychology he just talked about himself and his time in Colorado and he would go on tangents about his secretary he used to have . Mr. Mosley and the first teacher Trina both made fun of people with mental illness and called them crazy . I had to ask them both to be professional this is a college environment and people who are in the psychology field are hearing you dismiss mental health .This program does not teach you anything . So if you are going to be going for a masters degree you will be ill prepared in writing skills and general knowledge . I guess If you just want to spend 30,000 or more on a degree and be forced to work in groups with people that dont have work ethic or communication skills this is the place for you . I would not give this school or program one star but I think yelp makes you give at least one .

My hope is to be fair and truthful in my review of HTU. It is a work in progress. Being in the Adult Degree Program, things could run better. I truly feel as an adult learner, that has been in workplace for many years, the flexibility and cohort learning teams are super. The administrators are on the right track. Communication between the university and students must improve. When marketing to other, follow up is most important. Information must be delivered in a timely manner. For the programs to grow and succeed I would like to have more answers and less excuses. To educate and groom students to be leaders, the university must demonstrate a higher level of professionalism.

When I started in August 2018, I was told that my financial aide will post to my account by Jan 2019 and I will be notified about a possible refund. It is now almost June, and I have yet to hear anything! I keep getting the runaround from the ADP Accounting department as well as another individual M.M and they take forever to respond via email, and when they do, they shift the blame on each other, still leaving me without answers. I cant speak to anyone via phone and no one else seems to be able to help. This school is very unprofessional and I hate that I wasted my time going to this school. They have already had one law suit because of this, and theyre about to have another one! Do NOT go to this school! This is the worst HBCU!

I would advise NOONE to attend this institution. I did one semester here, Spring 19 and it was the worst experience ever. I thought, hey, let me give my people at chance, its a HBCU. PFHHHH, never again. For starters, I had seen on their website that if you worked for certain govt agencies you could get a discount on your tuition with the criminal justice program. I inquired about this on registration day and another day during the semester. The staff acted like they had no idea what I was talking about and even took my info and never got back to me. I was never told about the adult program. Luckily my employer tweeked my hours and I was able to attend class and return back to work with no issues. My professors were the only positive thing. Secondly, my current online school sent a request in April for my transcript to be sent once grades were posted after the semester ended...nothing was sent. I called HT and spoke to whomever is in that dept and she stated they would send it even though they didnt see a request. Then, I asked my current school had they received anything in early June, still nothing. I called AGAIN and left a vm, no return call. I called two days later snd spoke with the, Im assuming assistant to the transcript lady because by that time I had gone on HTU website and PAID for my transcript and EMAILED my confirmation of payment and the completed request form to the email address listed on the schools website and on the bottom of the request form. Guess what she says? She didnt see a request but she promises the transcript was going out that day (fri, June 14) with the other transcripts. I called HT again the following Friday and left a message. I still havent received a phone call, email, nothing. They cost so much money and do the LEAST to meet your needs. I had a 1,000% better experience at Austin Community College and I didnt have to pay for a transcript, no matter how many I needed. I am HIGHLY disappointed in HT and am so glad I dont attended classes there anymore.

The staff in EVERY office is extremely unorganized, slow and somewhat unprofessional. There is no reason for a university of this size to have so many issues with financial aid, answering questions, or graduation prep.After getting approved for graduation I was told I needed to come back to take another class because they missed it somehow. Now i have to scramble to get into a class and make a payment in 3-4 days because of their oversight and lack of responsibility. How my transcript goes from 124 hours to 117 hours is mind blowing and the fact that no one can offer an explanation is ridiculous.I have had so many issues in my 4 years of dealing with this university from financial aid, being over charged for classes, not receiving my employee discount, etc.Stay as far away from this university as you possibly can. Enroll anywhere else but here. Taking classes here will cause you to stress abundantly behind things you wouldnt even need to worry about with a more organized school. Once I am done with this university in May I wont even drive past this place.

Took me 3 months to get a transcript, and the school is basically a high school with barely any feel of an actual college campus. I far exceeded the acceptance guidelines, and felt like most of the freshmen were just required to color between the lines for an acceptance letter. Students were disrespectful and the old hag that teaches Human Sexuality was the most homophobic person that I had ever met. Worst decision I ever made.

I am a 1995 graduate of Huston Tillotson University, formally Huston-Tillotson College. My campus experiences in the early 90s was great! I made many life long friendships and still have connections with faculty and personnel on the campus today. Azie Taylor Mortons daughter, Virgie Morton is one of my closest friends today. I can honestly say that when I visit the campus now I see many positive changes and students who appear happy. Great things are happening at HTU!!!!!

Probably nobody there remembers me from class of 1997 - 1999, Daunte Carter, former music performance Maj or. I was a student of Dr. Beulah Jones, and Professor Henry T. Washington, choir director. Some of my schoolmates were Kimberly Liscombe, and Dianna Peww. The schools principal at the time was Dr. Joseph T. McMillan. I believe Joyce Meyers was the representative of student affairs. Lastly, Mr. McHaney was the music teacher and director of the HTC ensemble band.
