It was a great program geared to working professionals.

I feel that the amount learned and the program coverage was exceptional. I would encourage anyone to attend USD over any other MBA programs due to the small class size, direct teacher interaction and quality of the teachers.

The University of San Diego offered a flexible part-time MBA program without sacrificing the high quality expected from a high caliber university. I found the faculty very engaging intellectually and understanding of working professional's schedule. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at the university.

The academic content and rigor expected from the professors was just less than outstanding. I would have liked to have been pushed to my max, but not all professors lived up to that expectation. I did love the passion that most professors demonstrated which made learning enjoyable.

The instructors were excellent. Class sizes were small, yet diversified with working professionals from different industries. This dynamic created in depth discussions on class topics from many different viewpoints with "real world" examples from students.
