"Just wanted to thank Mrs. Teresa Lewis and Mrs. Daisy Phillips for embracing a soul such as mine. As a Non-Traditional student,I was apprehensive in my failure ,with regard to furthering my education.What I learned was far more practical than that, derived from a degree A personal,genuine love for each soul passing thier way,continues to light my way in life.Years later after leaving H.T.,I seen Mrs. Lewis in Bartlett Texas,she knew who I was and I could never forget her.I thanked her for caring so much,and again,she said the world needs people like me. I wear that with honor. Thanks Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Phillips. I love all the strong Mothers that believe all kids are thiers"

"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."

"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 didn't 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, I'm 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 school's website and on the bottom of the request form. Guess what she says? She didn't 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 don't attended classes there anymore."

"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 don't 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 ."

"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."
