GRADUATE COMMENTS

Untitled Location is pretty important. I have a family and a job. I do not have time to travel every couple of weeks and spend so much time away from home. If this situation were different, I may choose a different school. --Engineering

Due to the work experience required (7 years) for applicants, the knowledge of the students was based on real world experience which proved to be extremely valuable and insightful. --Finance

Weakness: Political issues within the faculty and the University. Strengths: Small schools tend to be more innovative. --Operations

(Improvements?) Better chairs. --Quality

Location, price and consideration of professional responsibilities made the program perfect for my needs. The curriculum, professionals and professors were all suitable and high quality as well. --Development and Marketing

One recommendation stands out from the crowd: the class filled out review forms, and ratings of the professors after every module (half of a semester). We tried to describe both the best and the worst practices. However, in my two years of study, I have not noticed any changes. I strongly recommend (that the school) react quickly to students' criticisms. The school administration should recognize one important difference: we are not regular students. We are executives and middle-level management from many different companies and our remarks come from experienced people. --Manufacturing

Great module approach, linking all disciplines, with great outside speakers! --Supply Chain

(Suggestions?) Increase the length of the program to allow more in-depth understanding. Be more selective in the application process. Assist with career placement. --E-business

The students in my class were a great group from whom I learned a lot. I miss being in school. --Marketing

(Instructors?) The key strength was keeping the material upbeat and enjoyable. Sitting in class all day on Saturdays was hard, and, although a lot depended on the material, the best instructors kept things lively and interactive. --Sales An Excellent Program; an undiscovered jewel in the competitive world of business education! --Medicine
