College of Business

-The faculty was a solid blend of life-long academics and industry professionals, which really aided in a rich experience. I came into the program with several years of business experience but have came away surprised on the amount of knowledge that I have gained throughout the program.

-The program served its purpose as far as broadening my base of education and increasing my fluency in various business and strategic topics. I did not, however, always feel pushed by the curriculum of the program, and some of the rules and regulations of the college were more bureaucratic than necessary, making the overall experience less enjoyable.

-The program provided with significant hands-on and theoretical learning to implement in my career. I began using the knowledge gained through the program almost immediately and have become a more effective contributor and leader within my own company.

-More case studies should be used as course curriculum.

-Great, especially my classmates. I liked the cohort format and all of the exposure to business plans and business plan competitions.

-They need to accept higher caliber students. MBA shouldn't be a catchall degree for people who can't get a job after undergraduate graduation.

-UofL provided a wonderful hands-on experience with knowledgeable professors. They connected us with important community leaders, as well as other well-known individuals in the business community.

-Have more classes that work on soft skills like speaking and negotiation rather than technical knowledge courses.

-My salary nearly doubled as a result of the experience of the program. Everyone in my cohort advanced almost immediately as a result of the program. One group won nearly $1 million in business plan competitions and was featured in Fortune magazine among other national news sources. The group is currently pursuing their dream of creating a high-potential business from the ground up.

-I wish it had been a more elite program. Some of the people that were accepted into the program had very poor writing skills and work ethic. Being in group projects with these individuals was more than frustrating for those people in the class who were sharp and eager to learn.

-Great way to improve on foundational business skills first encountered at the undergraduate level. Helps to integrate work experience at a deeper level and helped to propel me to the next level in my career.

-The program can be more flexible. We were told that it was flexible but then they would dock your grade if you had to miss class for any reason.

-I had an incredible experience and acquired skills that I use in my work everyday. My program opened doors and helped me make connections I couldn't have imagined at this point in my career. I would have no reservations in recommending the program.

-More modern day concepts need to be incorporated into fundamental classes, such as strategic management and marketing. Overall, the program does a great job at teaching fundamentals, but the material needs to be more tailored to accommodate the rapidly changing business environment.
