School of Management

-The school does an excellent job integrating soft and hard business skills and connecting concepts between classes. Electives provide strengthening in all areas of business administration and help create well-rounded leaders who are fully prepared for real-world management scenarios.

-Some core courses, such as Organizational Behavior, would benefit by having professors with real-world experience.

-The curriculum is well rounded. Allows student to choose a concentration in the second year.

-The school needs to work more directly with Alumni to build the chains of communication for higher paying or more developed management training job opportunities.

-The affordable tuition combined with the team focused first year make the school very unique. The teams are structured around skill sets and diversity between local, national, and international students as well as gender. Therefore each team is well balanced and provides for interaction between individuals who might not otherwise work together outside of B-school.

-Do not accept students without working experience. Candidates should have working experience of at least 2 years.

-One word - LeaderCORE. The School of Management's trademarked leadership development program is unparalleled by any other program in the MBA world. Its comprehensive design and intensive nature makes it one of the most valuable assets of the entire 2-year program.

-Recruit more experienced candidates, leverage the value of a internationally diverse student and faculty body to a greater degree, move forward with international joint degree programs.

-My school has a good local reputation and it's leadership program is very good.

-Reduce the number of candidates. Also increase the average age of the full time candidates.

-It has almost the lowest tuition and fees among the mainstream business schools. The professors are kind and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good.

-Invest more in LeaderCORE and offer a Strategic Management or Strategic Leadership concentration. But more importantly, the School needs to develop much more robust and more mutually beneficial partnerships with outside employers, especially well-established and globally-recognized employers. It is obvious that the School benefits in many ways from having employers on their partner/recognition list and that employers benefit from having one of the top B-Schools as a partner on their list. HOWEVER, it is obvious (just look at the stats) that the graduates are not reaping such benefits at all because employers aren't hiring the talent. We all know that it's an employer's market these days but employers should honor their relationship with the School and be more serious about hiring its talent. And the school needs to do a better job marketing itself and pushing partners for a more pure and mutually beneficial relationship. If students and graduates are ultimately not being served then it's fairly clear that the established School-Employer partnership is self-serving.
