Overall, the program is very well organized and presented. Lessons learned in class could be immediately applied in the workplace. The program has given me a well-rounded foundation in business skills for which I can further develop my professional skills.

I really liked how the MBA Anywhere program integrated residencies throughout the program to foster a better cohort experience, which enhanced the online discussions and team projects we worked on throughout the program. If someone wants an online program, it's hard to beat Drexel's technology. In fact, I've already talked to my son about considering the program.

作者: s 时间: 2010-9-29 14:18

I would have liked more industry-specific interaction added into the program. A few courses did include outside speakers/business leaders during class time, but most were after hours events. Again, there is so much material to fit into the course schedule that this is difficult to include. Maybe use an industry leader in a classroom session to do that particular lesson?

It would have been nice to see more real world examples and more cutting edge class offerings. For example, more classes on leadership and management especially dealing with some recent areas like emotional intelligence.

作者: s 时间: 2010-9-29 14:18

There doesn't seem to really be a sense of culture at the school, students don't interact with each other very often and only seem focused on getting their degree completed versus getting to know each other. If professors could bring in more mock activities in the classroom to demonstrate principles that different teams can work on then it would force individuals to get to know each other and build trust.

Drexel has provided me with an amazing opportunity to grow as a manager. Not only have I learned the technical skill I need to grow but I have also learned a lot about office dynamics and how I can create change and lead in difficult situations.

作者: s 时间: 2010-9-29 14:18

I think Drexel has a great part time program, but it is not for everyone. I saw a lot of people struggle the first two terms due the intensity of the 10 week terms. It's a lot of information and concepts to take in during that short time frame. For some people it is too much. It's all about time management and just doing hard work.

The program was tough, but I learned a lot of useful things. Not just business and financial models that fall apart once the assumptions go sour, but useful ways to approach business programs and actually think strategically. How to prepare for what can go right, what can go wrong, and how to minimize the risk of things going wrong.

作者: s 时间: 2010-9-29 14:19

The international business residency exposed us to how business concepts are applied in other cultures and in multinational companies, a critical skill in today's global business structure. The experience was so exceptional and inspiring that I volunteered to be an alumnus ambassador to speak with prospective students.

The combination of the cohort structure and the continual alumni relationship provides a strong network of professional contacts.

While almost every class had case study work, additional case study application in some of the core curriculum would be beneficial.

作者: s 时间: 2010-9-29 14:19

I would have liked to see a better selection of classes with more real world examples.

We probably could have tailored the program to current events a bit more.

The program is rigorous but the cohort environment helps keep you moving forward by creating strong connections amongst the group. We learned a great deal about leadership and team dynamics during the program.
