• • -I thought it was a worthwhile investment and hope that it pays dividends for years to come. It definitely helped expand my network in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
    
    -I would have liked more workshops that stressed interaction with industry leaders at the school.
    
    -I thoroughly enjoyed the EMBA program. I was challenged by the professors and my peers and with the material. I knew that I would get out of the program what I put into it and took the program very seriously. As a result, I know that I have fundamentally changed how I view leadership (versus management), strategy, and the impact of global economies.
    
    -I hope the school stays steadfast in maintaining the continuous improvement mindset, so that the program stays excellent with fresh material and the administrative portions of the program are sharp and tweaked regularly for effectiveness.
    
    -I would have liked to have seen technology weaved into the process a little more.
    
    -Without use of GMAT, we had many academically weak students in the program. I believe the program would benefit from upgrading the requirements, such as asking for a GMAT score of 575 or better to get in and accepting only high quality students.
    
    -Most, if not all, opportunities to improve have been communicated to the EMBA leadership team. There appears to be efforts in progress to address the many concerns of the Class of 2011.
    
    -The program was worth it alone for the quality of my classmates and only increased in value with the great professors and staff. I thought the school did a great job of blending the rich academic principles with real-world examples, making the lessons directly applicable to my job and career. As much as I would like to see additional capabilities for distance learning, the ability to share learning experiences in-person are irreplaceable.
    
    -This program could have been very effective but making changes mid-stream severely impacted the value of the program for many of the students. In reality, the last semester was about 50 percent as effective as it could have been. For the amount of money we are paying, this was not acceptable.
    
    -The school should improve the consistency of faculty. It should place more emphasis on entrepreneurship and strategy development.
    
    -The analytical and strategic components of the program were excellent and very valuable. The strategic finance, statistics, and strategy classes changed the way I approach my daily work, worth every penny and hour spent.
