Graduate School of Business Administration

-Fordham University provided a great EMBA program. I was sold on the program after meeting the students who didn't seem as competitive and egotistical as some of the other schools in New York. I forged great friendships and had a great time-sharing the experience with my cohort. Overall, the EMBA program is excellent for executives in their thirties or above looking to take their career to the next level. I do not recommend it for people who are a few years out of college who don't have enough professional experience. Most of the students were middle management, had eight to 12 years of work experience, and brought a lot of personal knowledge to the classroom.

-The introduction of more current materials and trends in today's businesses would improve the program.

-The program at Fordham is great. I am glad I selected Fordham over the other schools to which I considered applying. The only improvements that the program should consider are more renowned professors and current lessons for a small number of the classes in the program. Otherwise, no improvements are required. Perhaps, a job fair specifically for EMBA students would be nice as well.

-Tighter administrative auditing on the tuition and billing aspect would be helpful. We would receive numerous and confusing invoices, which mirrored the regular MBA student tuition model but did not coincide with the EMBA tuition model.

-I believe a few more lectures from outside professionals could bolster the classroom experience. Hearing professionals discuss their roles in the workplace helps hammer home the concepts.

-Many times, I have literally picked up my notes from courses to solve many issues. It was worth every cent.

-On the whole, I truly enjoyed the program. I feel like now I possess new ways of thinking and analyzing as a future leader. However, I wish I were more equipped with information regarding e-business and financial and environmental trends.

-I am a huge advocate for the Fordham EMBA. I am a completely different individual now and feel extremely proud I have completed this intense Program. I was at a crossroads in my professional life and my time in grad school helped me realize I needed a career change.

-A little more organization from the school administration would have helped.

-This is a fantastic format for working parents. My wife gave birth to our first child during the program, and I was able to stay on track thanks to the flexible time offered at work and the structured format of Fordham's EMBA program.

-I loved the cohort structure, where we have the same classmates throughout the duration of the program. This allowed us to establish friendships and working groups to help pull us through the program. A small group of us got together once a week to meet and discuss our progress in the subjects and eventually formed a support group. Because we are all working and have families and other things going on in our lives, this group helped me to balance.

-Professors who had outside speakers coming talking to students made their classes more interesting, and students loved these classes because they could relate the teaching to their real-life experiences.
