Soin College of Business

-I love the concept of the cohort program! I am not sitting in class with 20-somethings who do not care about their grades or the class. I enjoy the group work with professionals who are my age and who do care about deadlines and the quality of the work turned it. It is a pleasure to go to class and have a real discussion about life, work, and the "what if's" of the business world. I have encouraged so many of my friends to apply to this program track. WSU really hit a home run with this program (in my opinion).

-Overall, the WSU MBA program is good. However, the school accepts too many students. The grading is very easy so few student fail or drop out. I was not impressed with the quality of some of the students in the program. I am worried that the number and quality of WSU MBA graduates going into the workforce will lessen the prestige of my MBA degree.

-The instructors were very knowledgeable about their fields. They were also very effective in using their experience in the field as examples to demonstrate concepts.

-The quality of the education you get for the price is unmatched. I have enjoyed all the interaction I've had with the faculty.

-Overall, the satellite part-time program is still relatively new so I do believe it will be better in the future. If the program is able to tap into the companies that are headquartered in its vicinity it will really excel.

-Many of the instructors have significant industry experience which added significant value to their academic credentials.

-The classes for the Project Management concentration were taught by a former Program Manager of the B2-Bomber, a leading contract manager at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and the Program Manager for Siemens North America. Each was an expert in their field and shared very relevant and valuable information.

-I got a lot out of the program because I put a lot into the program. I went to class motivated and wanting to learn the material. I want to have the learning in my arsenal in case it is needed in my future business activities. I saw too many students who did not put forth much effort, who only showed up on test nights, and who still passed the courses. In general, the coursework, structure, information, and teachers are good. This is a good learning program. WSU simply accepts too many students, passes too many students, and dilutes the value of the degree. If I am in a position to hire someone in my company, I would probably not hire a WSU MBA person.
