SCHOOL COMMENTS

s

The career placement office needs lots of work. Many of the students are not sure what the career placement office really does all day. The program is kind of missing a "community feel." With a program this small it shouldn't be that way. --Marketing

Our passionate instructors always gave us useful and valuable teaching materials in order to get us familiar with the critical concepts. In addition, they inspired us to have interactive class discussions, digging into more in-depth knowledge of an important topic. Above all, I would say the learning experience at the Eller MBA program is extremely helpful to me. Investment Banking
