Goizueta Business School

-I had an outstanding experience at Emory. The professors were fantastic and with small classrooms there was room for quality discussions. Additionally, the students in the program were all exceptional people from diverse regions and careers. I truly enjoyed all of the people in my class and learned just as much from the students as the professors.

-They should develop more formal career guidance for experienced professionals. Most of the career development is geared toward full-time MBA's and others with less experience.

-I think that it is a great program, but for some focuses, such as Information Technology Management, other schools may have better curriculum.

-Goizueta would be strengthened if it offered more elective courses about technology development.

-For someone working in the Atlanta area, the Emory names carries a lot of weight. The perceived prestige of the school, especially in the south, makes it a lot easier to meet influential business people.

-Part-time students have very different career-services needs from full-time students, even if part-timers are pursuing very similar career goals. Because part-time students already have jobs, this makes their career search different. Part-time students don't need the "same" or "equal" access to career services. They need "different" access - they need a career services program tailored to their individual needs. In addition, the career services program at my school was specifically incentivized only on the success of full-time job placement. For this reason, they had little motivation to help part-time students, despite the equal access, and this lack of motivation clearly showed. The career services and on-campus recruiting were clearly geared toward the needs of full-time students, and few if any accommodations were made for the unique needs and situations of part-time students. This resulted in a sub-par - frankly, it was abysmal - career services experience. If there was one area that needed improvement above all others, it is this.

-The culture and quality of students and faculty is top notch, and I felt empowered and enabled instead of competitive and cutthroat. Also the diversity of experience of Goizueta students significantly impacted the landscape of opportunity and insights that were present throughout this program.

-The staffing of the part-time MBA program should be assessed. It was often difficult to approach the staff with issues pertaining to the student experience. A more seasoned management of the part-time office is needed in order to match the caliber of the program.

-At Emory, I was able to combine a top-notch education with the community that only forms when students are encouraged to develop personally and professionally outside the classroom. The networking, career services, and individual support were evident from the start of the program and continued throughout.

-I would like to see incoming students receive more personalized guidance with regard to structuring their future course selections. One-on-one discussions of goals/ambitions in order to take full advantage of the available courses would be an improvement. While we had several classes with "components" in which we discussed ethics, it would not be unreasonable to suggest a mandatory class devoted entirely to the subject.

-The Emory MBA program is world class. My fellow students, alumni and faculty are now friends and colleagues that I will be part of my career and personal life for years to come. To anyone who is thinking about and Emory Evening MBA, stop thinking and make it happen. BTW, be ready to work...it is no dog and pony show...it's the real deal.

-I had high expectations for Emory, and they really exceeded them. I generally found people with the program to be warm and very genuine. The vast majority of the professors seemed to really have a love for what they do, and were willing to put in the extra time to give us the best experience. I was also impressed with my classmates - they brought a level of experience to the discussions that greatly enhanced our in-class time. I appreciate that there was very little reliance on "online learning" - in general anything done online was simply preparation for what we would be discussing in class.
