Students Say
Students say their “very knowledgeable” professors “present concepts completely” and help them relate the course material to practice. “Each of them has done extensive research in their field and [is] noted to be among the best in the country for their area of expertise.” Another student says: “Every professor is interested in the development of each student into future managers and business leaders.” The administration does not receive the same ringing endorsement, however. Some take issue with the allocation of funds in certain areas. One student was succinct and blunt: “Solid professors, good academic experience, but really bad administration that spends money” excessively.
Some students also have difficulty with course selection and enrollment; many required or desired classes are offered only once per semester under limited enrollment, and these courses “often conflict with each other.” Since pretty much all of the courses take place in the evenings to accommodate the vast majority of students who have day jobs, there’s very little leeway in terms of scheduling. But these night classes also give part-time and full-time students the opportunity to interact with each other through “small classes and heavy teamwork,” something not found in a lot of MBA programs. “A lot of projects are team-based, so you get to know classmates very well.” One student takes away warm feelings about the camaraderie he felt at the school: “I have a new set of best friends. I never thought it was possible after reaching age forty.”
In keeping with the no-frills approach to the program, however, the facilities tend toward the sparse side. Several students expressed disdain for the academic buildings and equipment and spoke of the need for “more technology in the classroom.” One student said the classrooms “need better seating. The desks were made for 4th graders.”

Students Say
Since “most graduate students work and commute,” little time is left for a social life outside of the classroom, but there’s a foundation for friendship and networking among the “outgoing” and “friendly” individuals that attend Fogelman. Though some think “the school could put more effort into organized activities for students outside of class,” the “busy” nature of the student body doesn’t lend itself to much free time anyway, so complaints are few. Everyone is in agreement over the variety of backgrounds provided by their classmates: “The graduate population is very diverse, which makes things more interesting.” “You have a great opportunity to meet people from various backgrounds (educational and ethnic),” another student says.
