The program was fantastic in the sense that it gave students practical knowledge and skills to advance their careers.

The faculty are excellent. They come from the best schools in the country and provide and excellent education. The class size is manageable, and the professors are accessible.

The program used real-life examples that were directly related to my work. I am now much better at presentations and public speaking as a result of the required class presentations.

s

The MBA program taught me different techniques for approaching problems as well as the business side of a laboratory.

The people I have met through this program have been amazing. We are all driven, motivated people who have common interests and goals.

The program has a good balance between theoretical and practical ifnromation. There is a greater emphasis placed on practicality than there would be in an undergrad program.

s

Some of the professors were not always available outside of class during the times I wasn't working.

I would have liked to hear from more guest speakers to show the real-world perspective on the concepts and ideas presented in class.

More case studies and hands-on experiences would have improved the classroom experience.

Parking is a pain in the ass!

s

I would have liked to have more emphasis on networking and building a community in the program.

More classes offered would allow students to complete the program faster. Overall, the program was a great experience, and I am extremely happy with my choice to attend.

I would like the MBA program to continue to add more clubs to create a better sense of an MBA community.
