Students Say
Thanks to its strong reputation and enviable Portland location, PSU can “attract and retain an extremely high-quality faculty roster.” On the whole, “professors are informed, enlightened educators as well as experts in their respective fields.” Despite overall excellence, students say there are a few instructors who “seem unprepared, disorganized, and unclear on what they’re supposed to be teaching us.” The local community also plays an important role in the PSU experience. “Portland is truly at the center of this nation’s move toward sustainability,” and therefore, “being in Portland is a huge plus—there’s so much sustainable business thinking and practice here that it’s easy to see in the field what I learn in school.” A student adds, “I have been introduced to and met with many people that are driving regional and national movements on the cutting edge of sustainability.”
PSU is a large school, but you won’t get lost in the crowd. Despite its 400-plus enrollment, “The SBA manages by breaking up [its] graduate studies into discrete cohorts and providing a concrete plan of study for each. There’s never much doubt what you should be doing, yet there is flexibility should you need it.” Depending on your schedule, the school offers several program options. For full-time students, “MBA cohort classes are four hours long one day a week from about [noon] until four,” while part-time students “typically go to class two to three evenings a week.” Though students say the business school’s classrooms could use a refresh, (a major renovation will be complete in September 2017), “the academic resources are great.” For example, “the library has done a lot of work to make research as easy as possible, even for those of us who are only on campus a couple times a week.”

Students Say
In both the full-time and part-time MBA program, many “people come to class and then go home,” without making time for clubs or student groups. However, most students are involved in school-related activities outside of class, such as “internships, networking opportunities, and even…regular community service.” In addition, many students are “open to meet after class or on weekends to socialize.” Thanks to PSU’s “vibrant urban location” in downtown Portland, students enjoy everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer, including plenty of “good food and coffee locations close by.”
