-I think Hofstra MBA program had a good mix of lecturing as well hands on experience through group projects and presentations.

-By drawing on their own work experience, the instructors are able to give practical insight along with the lessons they are teaching as part of the class curriculum. I see this as a strength and it goes to show that instructors are chosen appropriately for certain subjects.

-I did not feel that it was an intellectually rigorous program, with the exception of a handful of classes. Rather than focusing on a concentration that would better equip us to utilize our knowledge after graduation, there was a superficial instruction on various topics that would not really delve further into a master's level of information.

-I am happy to see that Hofstra is working hard in improving the MBA program by inviting executives to speak in some of the classes. This is mostly evident in the capstone course where the semester project was aimed at coming up with a solution to solve a company's problem, e.g. poor customer loyalty program. I expect Hofstra's MBA program to continue to rise in the rankings and gain more notoriety in the years to come.

-Good school, great technology, great professors with real life and current experience.

-A few of the professors were inexperienced, foreign, and not easily understood due to their accents, which made learning difficult finance topics even harder for someone who majored in accounting previously. While everyone has to start somewhere, I think more training is necessary. I want to have the best education I can get and I don't want to receive subpar services from someone in training when I am investing my time and money.

-The MBA program at Hofstra University has been a great experience. I've met many great classmates, instructors and staff. They have all been helpful in my pursuit of my MBA and I hope to be in contact with many of them as my career continues and later into life.

-In terms of a strategy/plan for - there could be more counseling available. Sometimes the scheduling of classes/amount of classes available is tricky, and someone to work with on a more normal basis would be helpful.

-The strength of the program were the instructors' willingness to get involved with student outside of program hours.

-I believe that the graduate programs should be made completely separate from the undergraduate programs; the caliber and enthusiasm of the professors should be evaluated beyond a yellow sheet of paper at the end of the semester; part-time and full-time students should have different opportunities available to them; the courses should be driven by case studies rather than completely by textbooks.
