College of Business Administration

-I got a quality education where teachers were teaching not only a curriculum but also life lessons and experiences. The school also is very social and, in a way, laid back. Classmates help each other rather than continually compete. LMU is more than a GMAT score. They want motivated individuals not good GMAT exam takers.

-LMU works for so many reasons. Not only is a great educational opportunity, but you also have the flexibility to go at your own pace so it fits in with almost anyone's lifestyle. The Jesuit transfer network is also a huge plus. I had to move to Boston for personal reasons and LMU made it very easy for me to complete my remaining coursework at Boston College.

-There could be a more available career services team. I know they are working on that as they have just hired someone else full-time in that department, but career services was rather lacking. For me that wasn't a big deal, as I knew I wasn't going to start my job search right away, but it definitely was an issue for many.

-I believe that the LMU MBA program is an excellent program for anyone attempting to advance their career and as such would urge friends and colleagues to attend this institution.

-The career services office can hold more meet and greets and career fairs for MBA students only. Also the MBA program should do a better job of marketing itself as a top notch MBA program.

-I felt I benefited greatly from the program. The small classrooms and the atmosphere for networking and working together on projects really helped make the experience at LMU a good one. Plus, the alumni and entrepreneurs I was exposed to were amazing people/mentors.

-One of the biggest differences with LMU's program relative to others is the lack of a cohort based class system. For students seeking that kind of program, I would not recommend LMU's program. However, for those students who are open to the networking benefits intrinsic to not having a cohort, I would recommend the program.

-LMU's program is structured in a way that accommodates for changes in your life, which can be more drastic later in life. You can easily switch from full time to part time without having to re-enroll into a different program. The curriculum and educational rigor is challenging and prepares you for life in the business world and their travel abroad project is a rewarding and memorable experience.

-Being in LA, there should be more courses related to the entertainment industry and also green technology/sustainability. I think more emphasis on these areas would help draw in more talent to the school.

-The program is very much geared towards working students. The professors are very accessible, having other classmates who are working full time provides a supportive environment and fosters a collaborative environment where students can bring real examples to the classroom for discussion.

-I would like to see some of weaker professors given improvement challenges or termination. I would like to see 100% of professors use online mediums (grading and teachings and current events/news). I would like have a greater emphasis on fellow classmate experiences in classroom discussions. I want to see some of the weaker classmates be given worse grades that reflect a less than par effort.

-They need to improve the quality of some of the professors who have been there a long time. Also, the career services office needs some help to improve the quality of their service and adapt more towards the needs of the part-time students. Finally, communication from the MBA office was lacking. As an example, we were not given explicit details on filing to graduate and the commencement ceremony.

-As a liberal arts undergrad, I had no formal academic business training. The small size of the school allowed me to personally connect with staff and faculty to become deeply involved in the program and the various student organizations.

-I feel fully satisfied with the quality of education I received, specifically with the one-on-one instruction I received from professors outside of class. One must make a program their own and any deficiencies that may be articulated in one program are likely present in another program. It is the student's responsibility to learn what they need and when, and to ask for it.

-Increasing the caliber of students and professors would help. Also, more organization of the program in its entirety. It would also be great if the MBA website was improved to be more professional, user friendly, and appealing.

-The campus setting and location works out well especially with special parking for students since driving is essential in Los Angeles. The students and the timing of course work out well to schedule classes. The international aspect of comparative management studies, which takes students aboard, was a great program to take part of.
