Students Say
East Carolina requires a number of foundation classes, such as Financial and Managerial Accounting and Financial Management, but students who studied business as an undergraduate can have these requirements waived if they took similar courses and received a B or higher. All students must take eight common body of knowledge courses that provide a solid foundation in business and three elective courses that allow them to focus on areas of their choice. Students may choose to take four electives toward a certificate in an area they want to specialize in. Current offerings include Business Analytics, Health Care Management, Finance and Management Information Systems, Marketing, and Project Management.
Professors at East Carolina get high marks. The “strong” and “challenging” faculty members are “genuinely concerned with their students’ success in the program,” and really “push them to get better.” They are accessible outside of class, and students can “build real relationships with them.” One student explains that a “professor put me in touch with professional networking organizations. Another put me in touch with a professor outside my program, who had insight into an aspect of business I am interested in.” Professors definitely “expect hard work and high professionalism from each student,” and those interested in East Carolina should be prepared to devote themselves to their studies. One online student who also works full time says, “My life revolves around class assignments, cases, group work, and other obligations. This program is not for the faint of heart!” East Carolina’s combination of a demanding, but flexible academic program, dedicated professors, and enthusiastic students make for a great experience and is why so many people think the school offers a great “bang for the buck.”

Campus Life
Students Say
The campus itself is nice and has “great places to study and to wind down” and offers lots of “great extracurricular activities.” The football games are popular and “always a whole lot of fun.” However, as many students work full time and have family obliga- tions, not everyone has time to participate in campus life, so those looking to actively socialize may have to look beyond the MBA program. Luckily, the Graduate Business Association organizes a lot of activities, such as networking programs with local business leaders and recruiters, as well as professional development seminars and social nights. Many departments, such as Accounting, Finance, and Management, have their own student organizations, and the school also has chapters of two national honor societies, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Phi Kappa Phi.
