Drucker offers a number of graduate-level business degrees, including an MA in Arts Management as well as three options for the MBA: a full-time MBA in the day, a fully employed MBA for working professionals, and an executive MBA in the evenings and weekends. Students in all three programs have access to intensive overseas courses, offered during semester breaks, as well as semester-long exchange programs. While students are not required to complete an internship, “There are plenty of opportunities for students to get access to various companies through the many extracurricular clubs offered like the Entrepreneur & Venture Capital Club that visits businesses and entrepreneurs in Southern California.” Most Drucker instructors are “excellent teachers,” who are “very talented [and] well trained in their fields.” While most have PhDs in business, the program is not overly academic; “material feels very up to date and applicable.” While some students would like to see more academic rigor, they also appreciate the school’s “good reputation” as a member of the Claremont Consortium of Colleges, which includes such well-known institutions as Pomona College and Claremont McKenna.
A “boutique” school with intimate class sizes, Drucker students benefit from “small classes and extremely close and personal interaction with professors.” In addition to office hours, “it’s not uncommon to be invited to lunch or coffee with a professor.” When it comes to participating in this management-focused school, students are not let down: “The MBA Administration at Claremont Graduate University is amazing,” consistently demonstrating accessibility, as well as “a willingness to accommodate the various needs of students.” Despite incorporating a number of distinct degree programs, “there is a very good culture of communication between the administration, professors and students.”

Students Say
When they are not hitting the books, Drucker students are eager to socialize with their col- leagues. Among other campus events, the school hosts “regular student mixers,” of which the biweekly Thursdays on Drucker Way are particularly popular. It’s hard to dispute the fact that “beer, food, and table tennis is a nice way to end the week.” Located in the small town of Claremont, just north of Pomona, California, and east of Los Angeles, “Claremont is known as the city of trees and PhDs.” Around the business school, “the landscape is beautiful,” and it is located “close to the village (downtown) so we can easily walk there if we need anything that isn’t on campus.” A current student enthuses, “I’m having the time of my life here!”
