The professors were first-rate. They earned their degrees from the best programs in the country. Another benefit of the part-time program is that they used the same professors that taught in the full-time program and many of them were the department heads, I really feel as though our program is taught by the ?best of the best.?

Most of the professors related to us as working professionals and the guidance and leadership made it apparent that they cared and wanted us to succeed.
作者: s    时间: 2010-11-9 20:55

I learned much more from classmates who had work experience. Part-time programs add additional value in expanding the MBA educational experience versus full-time MBA programs.

The program had a great reputation, high quality of education, a very strong network and tremendous regional recognition.

Wake Forest is an accommodating program, which provides both an excellent education while respecting its students as full time employees.
作者: s    时间: 2010-11-9 20:56

I would highly recommend the working professional program at Wake Forest University because the program allowed me to apply what I was learning while I was working. I think I will retain more information from the program because I was immediately able to engage in real life examples of what I was taught.

The professors are top notch and I've learned a wealth of knowledge from them. The lock-step program allows you to build better relationships with your classmates making it easier to reach out for help if you have work deadlines or trips that interfere with class.

My experience at Babcock has been difficult and rewarding. I now have a perspective on business and have learned how to analyze and problem solve. This program has been the most difficult thing that I have done, but it has also been the most rewarding.

Experience of the classmates added tremendously to my education. Given Wake's ability to choose the appropriate mix of personality and expertise for each class, I feel I would gain even more going back for another round.

The career placement services, networking opportunities and the academic programs are outstanding.

The school offered convenient class times, such as their Saturday program. The professors made themselves accessible to the students. The quality of material was on par of what you would expect from a high level institution. It is the best program in the area and the local alumni network is vast and spreads across many industries.

The professors knew their material and knew how to interact with student, facilitating great discussions and challenging the students to think differently.
