“Perennially ranked at the top for online
MBA programs,” Indiana University Bloomington Kelly School of Business is “the
only top tier program that was affordable and value-adding.” This top-ranking
program offers flexible schedules, “a number of networking opportunities,” and
devoted professors who “get it.” Professors use “quality materials,” give
“personalized attention,” and are able to keep online students just as engaged
as if they were physically sitting in the classroom. One student says, “The
fact that the online faculty are the same professors who teach the in-person
MBA courses is a huge plus, as the online program directly mirrors the physical
program.”
Online MBA students agree that IU
professors are not “anything less than exceptional.” “There are times when I am
actually overwhelmed by how organized my professors are. They are always on top
of things, and the quality of teaching is exceptional,” says a student. They
are able to break down concepts using “real-world business examples.”
School administration runs “a world-class
on-campus week” and provides outstanding overall support to students. Another
unique feature of the program is the option for students to earn dual master’s
degrees (MBA/MS). Though the majority of students who attend Kelley’s MBA
program already have a background in business, one student states, “This was
especially attractive to me, since I don’t have a business undergraduate
degree.”
While completing MBA coursework online
“certainly puts time at a premium,” Kelley’s program definitely allows for
“maximum flexibility without compromising on quality.” At first glance,
students may find the “rigorous coursework” daunting, however, the program is
definitely made to accommodate adults with occupational and/or familial priorities.
Students are able to watch recorded lectures, study and complete work at their
convenience, and still, find time for personal interests.
“It truly is a program designed for people
who have demanding full-time jobs and need to be able to manage their own
time,” says a student. Online classmates speak highly of one another, calling
themselves “driven,” as well as “bright,” “professional,” and well-respected in
their fields. Although they are highly ambitious, they are also “team players.”
