Recommended: The true cost of higher education

UMHB’s vision statement is, “UMHB will be the university of choice for Christian higher education in the Southwest” (UMHB, 2016). In this essay I will do a SWOT analysis of UMHB to see if the university is working towards its vision. I will identify UMHB’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
The strengths that UMHB has are the small classroom sizes, a small campus, good landscaping, good football team, and free Microsoft Office 2013. The small classroom sizes are a strength because it allows the students and professors to have a better interaction. Unlike larger classrooms, the smaller classrooms allow the students ask more questions. Also, gives the professor the capability to do in class activities to help the students understand the information better. The reason that UMHB’s campus size is a strength is because of the walking distance isn’t as far as the larger universities in Texas. Good …show more content…

The reason that the lack of parking spaces is a weakness is because of the limited parking it means there’s a good chance that students will have to park on the other side of campus, and walk a longer distance in order to get to their classes. UMHB being expensive is a weakness because it can hinder a person from becoming a student, which will hinder the growth that the university is looking for. Having to take classes that are not related to your major is a weakness. For instance, taking old testament and new testament classes, these classes are not needed for the majority of the majors offered at UMHB. This slows down the process of a student graduating. Lastly, the lack of available professors is a weakness because it limits the number of classes available. This can cause the students to not be able to take the classes that they need because they’re not

    What stands out about American universities today? Is it the academic opportunities offered to students, experienced faculty, or strong sense of community? Or...perhaps they have lost their focus. It is not uncommon for universities to focus their efforts and budgets elsewhere; by building state of the art gyms, for example, remodeling luxury dorms, grooming campuses, or creating more management positions. College students and professors alike are subject to the nationally occurring changes in higher level education. Colleges are becoming commercialized and tuition is rising, but is the quality of education improving? In “Why We Should Fear University, Inc.”, Fredrik DeBoer is able to provide a personal take on the issue of corporate domination

    ...cannot be broken, knowledge that cannot be taken away, and opportunities that students never knew were available. It is an honor to receive top notch education and even more of an honor to receive it from an HBCU. Legacies are made at HBCUs and parents are made proud when their child becomes alumni of the same college that they once attended. Parents want to know that their child is receiving the one on one attention from the professors and they want their child to feel the same love away from home that they feel at home. A loving and caring support system is what one will find at an HBCU and parents can feel secure in knowing their child is getting exactly what they paid for. Attending an HBCU is an experience like no other and an experience that every African American should have the opportunity to experience. If given the opportunity, why not attend an HBCU?

    Clearly, HBCUs provide several benefits to African-American students. Not only have they helped to combat the cycle of discrimination that minority students experienced before the civil rights initiatives of the 1960s, but they strive to provide a warm, supportive and inclusive academic environment that addresses African-American college students as a whole person. Additionally, HBCUs are increasing their efforts to ensure that higher education is accessible, affordable and achievable for individuals with unique socioeconomic challenges. Despite obstacles, historically Black institutions will continue to play a vital and significant role in the fabric of higher education.

However, these issues can be changed by an increase in support from different places which would add to the existing importance of HBCU’S. People are inspired by the Institutions because they work hard to overcome obstacles placed in their way.

  • Choosing UNF: A Pathway to Criminal Justice

    The second I stepped onto the campus, I knew that it was where I wanted to be and I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great. The most appealing of these factors to me was the outstanding criminal justice program. This really caught my eye because my long-term goal after college is to work in the criminal justice field as a criminal investigator or a crime scene investigator. Not only does UNF have a great criminal justice program with outstanding professors that were, at one point, in the criminal justice field, but they also have great ties with the FBI and Jacksonville Sheriffs Office,
