Students Say
Gonzaga’s MBA curriculum consists of twenty-two credits in core courses (eleven two-credit classes) and eleven credits in electives, and students are given the option for a “core-trailer,” which gives them “a very unique opportunity to focus in on a subject that they enjoyed during the core part of the semester.” Students report that the curriculum is “broad and covers many aspects of the modern business environment” and is “a tough workload that stresses excellence. Classes may run from 7:30 a.m . to 8:00 p .m . at night,” with break hours in between. Professors “integrate course material throughout the program” and “rarely present contradicting information” as “the material in the program is well-planned,” though “some tenured professors don’t seem to care about updating their courses anymore.” Students also appreciate that the program allows for a “flexibility of coursework.” “Students need to have more opportunities to simulate complex projects and the teamwork needed to solve them,” one student notes. Luckily, “Gonzaga’s School of Business is always looking for students’ input to make those improvements.”

Campus Life
Students Say
Students are “fairly isolated from the campus in that our classes start at the end of the traditional day, and our building is on one edge of the campus,” though you “can tell that administration has made great efforts to try to improve the camaraderie of all stu- dents.” Luckily, the building is “amazing, has everything in one place, and the lounge has a fantastic view of a lake beneath and downtown in the distance.” Evening classes “allow working professionals to attend classes.” One student notes, “I cannot say enough about the flexibility and responsiveness of the MBA program team. From professors to the administrative staff, this experience has been outstanding.”
Those who choose to engage in campus life tell us that it is “full of opportunities to get involved in fun activities and helpful charities,” though not many of these apply to the family-oriented. “A few attempts have been made to encourage students to socialize, but nothing really applies to families, so I do not participate,” says one student. The basketball games are free for students and are “full of excitement” and, as an added bonus, revenue “generated by the basketball team is used to improve the school and the school’s reputation.” Local charities “love the help from grad students and rely on them for help in creating business plans, conducting market research, and planning marketing activities.” Hometown Spokane is in eastern Washington, is “cold during the winter, and not all that exciting compared to Seattle, which is four hours away.”
