McDonough School of Business

-Some members of the class were proactive in working with almost every other member of the class. Others kept to a small group of classmates throughout the whole program. More structured mixing of students would likely have benefitted those who did not branch out to work with a diversity of classmates.

-What should be stressed is Georgetown's commitment to the Jesuit tradition of practice. The international residencies were founded on exercising what has been learned in a real world environment by working on real consulting projects with a wide spectrum of companies. In addition, the business-planning residency allowed us to practice starting a company and presenting our business plans to real investors, truly a distinguishing feature of the program. In regards to the classroom experience itself, more of a focus on interpersonal management skills would have helped. Interpersonal management was addressed in one or two courses but there was no on-going peer evaluation to help students become more aware of their own skills and how to improve.

-This is an excellent program! When I was looking into programs, I wanted a school with a strong moral foundation and an international focus that would allow for a good work-life balance (especially as a single dad). Georgetown was all this and more. The strong balance between theory and practice, especially the business and global residencies cannot be stressed enough. The faculty and administration is top notch. The sense of community grew with time, as we became partners with the administration in seeking ways to improve the program. Lastly, the people are phenomenal. In having a lock-step program, you sacrifice choice in regard to electives but you build strong, lasting relationships with your EMBA family as you help each other in the marathon program.

-It was a fantastic program and great location and use of the Washington, D.C. area and all it has to offer.

-There should be greater scrutiny of individual contributions to team projects. A minority of classmates "hid out" in teams without making meaningful contributions or even demonstrating graduate-level skills.

-The Georgetown EMBA program is outstanding. Having completed the program and working with others who have completed competing programs, it is evident the quality of education from Georgetown is superior to most.

-This program has a strong ethics foundation that should be recognized. The international residencies (this year with China and Turkey) were very involved and served real companies with real consulting needs. In addition, these projects added exceptional value to the companies selected. Feedback from the CEOs of both companies for which I worked was complimentary.

-There should be more help with career building (organization of a job fair, organized individual meeting with our career coach).

-I think staff support was very good overall, but there was room for improvement. For instance, ensuring that staff was present earlier in the morning on the days when we had class would have been helpful to help us with conference call needs, unlocking rooms, etc.

-The electives offerings should be increased.
