Another aspect I enjoyed was the emphasis placed on teaching. The professors were responsive, available, and helpful. The program encourages a distinct environment of support from classmates and professors. The whole academic, social, cultural experience of my MBA at IU is truly unique, one that can never be matched, and an experience that I will carry with me into every new situation I encounter. We have one of the most student focused MBA offices that I have ever heard of.
Students actually see changes that the office makes based on our input.
Besides the exposure to more material and more opportunities to meet industry practitioners, the Academies also create more personal interactions between students and the faculty and academic departments. In doing so, they create more of a sense of association and attachment. The extra work required also gives IU MBA students an extra edge in getting jobs in their respective industries. Most students are willing to help others with academic material when the opportunity presents itself. A disappointment for me was the lack of classroom discussion that existed.
