Organizations that send the most participants to the part-time MBA program:

s

The program has great instructors in a selective university.

I urge colleagues and friends interested in continuing their education to check out this program. It has really good instructors. The classes can be difficult, but gaining a new understanding of a subject matter can be very rewarding. Compared to other universities in the area, it's a great value for students.

The MBA program exposes people to a higher level of thinking about business issues.

The organization of the program was great; the scheduling was almost always perfect for my work schedule.

s

The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. They were always available to answer questions.

The main weakness is that some of the professors are behind technologically.

Some of the professors were acting consultants or research scientists, so they had leading-edge information to share with the class. Some of them, for example, work with the Gallup Institute.

The biggest strength was the size of the program, which allowed for great class discussions and participation.

It might have helped to have the MBA program in a dedicated section of the overall business administration building. The program shared areas and classrooms with undergraduate students.
