School of Business

-I felt the curriculum and quality of classes well prepared me in the business work and provided applicable skills and knowledge.

-Compared to the other programs in the area this is by far the most challenging and respected program. Being so affordable is important too and IUS is a clear leader in the metro Louisville area.

-IUS needs to have full affiliation with the Kelley School. It also needs to have a finance program that makes learning more prone to adult students.

-The program is not static. It continues to evolve and stay relevant to the current business climate. Faculty is engaged in furthering their own expertise, and they are eager to share their experience and knowledge.

-The faculty at Indiana University Southeast had more practical business experience than I had anticipated I would find in academia. Moreover, both the faculty and staff had genuine interest in helping students learn and succeed. They demonstrated their understanding that we are full time business people and part-time students.

-The IUS MBA program was extremely rewarding. It changed my perspective and how I approach problems with a more analytic way. I feel much more prepared to manage in my field than before I completed the program. After completing the rigorous coursework, I feel I am ready for any challenge that lies ahead. Sure, there may be difficulties, but I have proved to myself that I can make it against all odds.

-My suggestion is to leverage the strengths of the faculty and experience of students by eliminating online class sessions. There are other institutions geared to that market. The strength of the IUS program is rooted in personal interaction and real discussion. I am concerned about the possibility of diluting the main attribute that sets the program apart.

-This was a good balanced program. I had exposure to all of my interests and picked up some new ones. The flexibility allow for learning without impacting work/home life too much.

-Perhaps find ways like open houses or emails to students' employers to better inform them on what kinds of things the students are learning that will help the student professionally and benefit the company. If the company executives are better informed on the MBA program and the school, they will more likely support future students to attend and better understand the ROI for student tuition reimbursement, raises, and bonuses.

-The overall quality of education compared to the tuition is a tremendous value. Class schedules are flexible and convenient to most areas in the Louisville area.

-Overall, I was delighted with the program, but I would like to see more networking and interaction between students and local business leaders.

-It met all of my expectations. The faculty was amazing, energetic and patient. It is extremely affordable if paying for it on your own. It is the most flexible program for those of you that are working, with families or plan to travel. It has two campuses that made it easy to choose over others choices in the region. Working in Louisville wasn't an issue because they had a campus right in downtown Jeffersonville, across the river.

-The education I have gained through Indiana University Southeast (IUS) has changed the way I view organization functional areas outside of the one I had experience (engineering). I view problems more as opportunities in my professional and personal life after completing the IUS MBA program and I have improved my critical thinking skills.

-The classroom experience could have been improved with the admissions policies. There were many students in the program without any work experience to draw from in classroom discussions.

-The MBA instructors' strengths include the extensive real business experience and ability to help us draw parallels to our own jobs and companies from class material. The instructors are highly technical in their fields and they care about truly teaching students, rather than being research focused. They help us to think outside our comfort zones and challenge us to risk being unique in our approaches to problem solving. The instructors are highly ethical. Only a small percentage of instructors have weaknesses in this area, but some need to work on delivery in the classroom to keep the discussions lively. We are students working long hours and attend class sometimes after a 10 or 11 hour day, so keeping the classes interesting is critical.
