Students Say
With a competent administrative team at the helm, “the MBA program is well-designed and run,” and many students say the “caliber of professors and course material has exceeded my expectations.” Group work is encouraged, and through assignments, “[students] to learn to work with all different types of people—just like the real work force.” Among many of the school’s special programs, the Learning Alliance is a sixt to nine-month project through which “students are put into groups and assigned a [regional] company” where they study and consult on business problems and opportunities. A student elaborates on the Learning Alliance: “Rather than just writing a marketing report based on a case study, an actual marketing project will be performed where students work with local businesses on their particular marketing needs.” On the flipside, students would like the curriculum to include a broader international perspective, while others would like to see more specialized course offerings, as well as “more freedom to choose classes within the program.”
UNCW students are impressed with the teaching staff, describing them as “highly educated with a lot of ‘hands-on’ work experience.” Drawing from a wide range of industries, Wilmington professors range “from economics teachers who have worked at the Fed for thirty years, to management teachers who have worked for large corporations in high positions globally, to significantly published authors and highly sought-after consultants.” In the classroom, they are on top of their game; “Professors of UNCW exhibit strong, experienced leadership in preparing, teaching, and guiding students through the business program.” Likewise, “the administration is very service-oriented and goes out of [its] way to make student administrative obstacles easy [to overcome].” “Affordability” is the cherry on top of the cake—here, in-state tuition runs less than 50 percent the price at comparable private schools.

In the professional MBA program, “most all of the students are working professionals, so they are not involved in the day-to-day campus activities.” However, graduate stu- dents do have access to the facilities and resources on the greater campus, and “about 10 percent use the gym facilities and library during non-class hours.” Nonetheless, the atmosphere is friendly and social, boasting “that homey feeling of a small town where everyone knows and cares about everyone else.” While they may not go out every weekend, “most of the students belong to the MBA Association, and participate in social events with each other outside of class.” Even in the classroom, the feeling is laid-back; “Because of the warm climate and laid back atmosphere, I believe some students have never worn footwear besides flip flops ever.”
