The professors are top notch, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from them. The material was challenging, and the faculty challenged you regularly to perform to the best of your ability. Also, the small class size really helps to establish a sense of community within the program. I had the opportunity to work with every person in my class. The administration also went to great lengths to impress on class members that although grading is by definition competitive, the culture of the program was one of cameraderie. This culture was clearly evident to me, and I feel I learned just as much from my classmates as professors, and I made many friends that I've kept in touch with since graduation and will for years to come. -- Finance

I have found the quality of the Mays MBA Program to vastly exceed the highest of expectations I had prior to entering the program. The flexible curriculum was designed to have direct application to global work environment, the faculty were available at all times to meet with students(even during their off semesters), and the administration worked diligently to provide each and everyone one of the students with financial aid. -- NA

The Texas A&M MBA Program is a 16 month MBA. You receive an MBA that is equal to any other top school (look at MBA competition results) at a fraction of the price. The Texas A&M student network is excellent and an individual can significantly move ahead. -- Operations

The program is hiring professors with experience and continuously trying to improve the program.--NA

I was disapointed in the ethics of the program. There was rampant cheating that the administration winked at depending on who they were. -- Information Technology

Excellent value, great interaction with classmates and faculty, vibrant school atmosphere, responsive program and administrators -- Consulting

The bureacracy in this program was unbearable. Many of the faculty members are top-notch, however, the program administration left a lot to be desired. There is a lack of a true business background by key administrators, and I don't believe that they really had any idea what happens in a real company. -- NA

The career services center (GBCS) did an extremely poor job in my opinion in bringing in top quality companies. I still have access to the McCombs career office through my undergraduate degree and in my opinion, they attract much higher caliber companies than Mays. With a top 30 program, they should do a better job at attracting quality companies on campus. -- Investment banking

I greatly enjoyed the MBA program including the faculty and my classmates. Texas A&M University and the surrounding areas (Bryan/College Station) are a great place to live and work. -- Operations
