I found the program to focus on the issues and opportunities I faced at work. I found the instructors and classmates to provide valuable insight into the subjects being covered. --Auditing
The program was recommended by friends who previously attended. It was close to my home, and I enjoyed the experience very much. The other EMBA programs in this area are not as prestigious. --Finance
The program provided everything that it promised. The fact that I was able to transfer learning from the classroom to work immediately was invaluable. --Marketing
I was exposed to the broad-based issues of managing and business that I was hoping to obtain. The quality, professionalism, varied backgrounds, personalities, and friendliness of the EMBA class I was part of all added to the experience. Could not be happier with the overall educational and leadership experience I gained from the program. --Accounting
The program was well suited for my career path. The program format and logistics were well thought out for students working full time. Careful participant selection provided means to learn from others' business experiences in addition to academic coursework. --Marketing
[Faculty strengths/weaknesses?] Strengths -- Knowledgeable about subject area and ability to facilitate class discussion. Weaknesses -- High expectations of students, especially in workload. Would have liked to see more coordination between classes as to material being covered. --Auditing
For the most part, our instructors were very knowledgeable in their fields and respected our status as executives. The weaknesses were the few instructors who were not prepared and had poor evaluation techniques. --Finance
The instructors were clearly knowledgeable in their respective disciplines, yet they weren't solely academic in their approach. Because the faculty also consult and teach worldwide, they were able to interject a very broad perspective on current practices and trends. They also drew upon the students' individual work experiences to demonstrate the relevancy of the curriculum. --Marketing
Some of the instructors were the experts in their filed while small numbers were not prepared well enough for each class. --Manufacturing
[Improvements?] Require more presentation opportunities within the classes. --Operations
[Improvements?] All professors using electronic means to deliver class materials. --Marketing
I have no complaints and was extremely satisfied with the day-to-day experience. --Accounting
[Company support?] I have not yet received a salary increase as a result of the program. Currently our company is downsizing due to our position in the telecommunications industry and our current performance. However, i do expect to leverage my degree into higher wages in the next 1-2 years in my present company. --Finance
I found our contact with students from Katz's international programs to be very constructive. During our program we spent four days in a symposium with students from Europe and South America, as well as a 10 day international visit. Both were well organized and provided opportunities to broaden our perspective of the global business environment. I would encourage the school to continue these programs and look for other ways to enhance this experience. --Marketing
It might have been one of the best decisions in my life to attend this program. I found it fulfilling and it enriched my life. It was expensive, but worth the time and money put into it. --Auditing
Overall, the program was set-up to deliver a general management curriculum and it did just that. --Marketing
I was somewhat skeptical about the value of an EMBA education vs. the associated cost premium. But after experiencing the program, I'm a huge supporter of EMBA vs. traditional MBA programs. --Operations
[Improvements?] More case studies and practical business skills including leadership, communication, and people-management skills. --Accounting
