CLASS OF 2002 GRADUATE COMMENTS

I love the small intimate class size. It allows for a more interactive class and great discussion to be sure each concept is thoroughly understood. -- Semiconductor

I learned so much in these last two years, even with a business undergraduate degree. Originally, I thought it might be repetitive, but it was completely worth it. I also enjoyed the small class size and the opportunities to be involved in so many activities and challenges. -- Sales

The program is strong academically, and I believe there are benefits to having a small program, but the recruitment opportunities are limited because the school is small and geographically isolated. -- Marketing

The Berger Entrepreneurship Program made the University of Arizona's MBA Program amazing. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone interested in starting their own company. I have grown as a student, business person, and human being. -- Entrepreneurship

The program is definitely a value for the money. I felt that I got a quality education without paying an arm and a leg for it. I would have liked to see more employment opportunities, but in the current job market, I doubt that other schools are doing significantly better. -- Finance

I enjoyed the small class size, great faculty, and the atmosphere. The Entrepreneurship Program is excellent. -- Operations

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I did not anticipate [that] such a wonderful group of diverse students would be attending the program. This was a definite value added. The coursework was extremely challenging for me, but I expected that. What I didn't expect was how many lifelong friends and contacts I would leave with -- quality people. -- Marketing

The students in my class were extremely helpful, especially towards international students and making sure they were well settled, etc. Help and assistance were not difficult to obtain either from classmates or faculty. -- Consulting

U of Arizona has a lot of scholarships and the profs and classes are first rate. The placement office and number of recruiters that come to Tucson however is plain awful and has not increased despite the fact that maybe three times as many come to nearby ASU. Something needs to be done. -- Marketing

The University of Arizona offers a rare opportunity for students to interact with staff at great length. Professors generally know each member of the class intimately and are always available for advice and mentoring. Like other institutions, the quality of the education is a direct result of the students' willingness to learn and the professors' ability to provide answers when questions are asked. In my opinion, the Eller school provides superior access to these answers for students and thus, if students are motivated, they have the opportunity to attain a top-rate education. The size of the class has also been important because it builds intimacy within the student population. While students strive to succeed, there is a greater sense of community and sharing as opposed to the competitiveness found at other schools. -- Consulting

I had a great experience at the Eller Graduate School of Management's MBA School. My inability to find a job after graduation has more to do with the current state of the economy, than it is a reflection on the education that I received. Companies that normally recruit each year, did not return this year because the economy is less than stellar. -- Marketing

I felt the program was very good at establishing a network of contacts and personal relations, something not found at every business school. The program is small which allows for more individual attention. -- Anonymous

The program has gone through some administrative problems, but is well underway in correcting them. The direction it's now heading is much better than before, but still needs work. There still needs [to be] a stronger, more clearly defined direction that is well communicated to students. At times it felt like a void seperated the admin. and students. The faculty is very strong, though there have been a few members lost to other schools. The students are extremely friendly and make the experience excellent. -- Anonymous

I was treated extremely well at the Eller School. I feel that I received very personalized attention from the time I applied through to the time I graduated. I enjoyed the diversity of the teaching staff as well as the students. -- Human Resources
