-The part time MBA program has great instructors, flexible schedule, and an extensive curriculum in which you learn valuable application to real work. I love the small classes and the students you get to build a relationship with. The types of projects you get to do is fun and allows you to reach out to Fortune 100 and 500 companies. We get to hear great speakers from different organizations as well. There is always something going on.
