"My teachers are caring and super knowledgeable. They have all had great real world experience and can draw examples from their current or previous work making it easier to comprehend. The course work is intensive, but it won't overload you if you are working full time as well... I have a very busy schedule as a commercial insurance professional, but I am able to complete all assignments. One of the things I like the most is the small classroom size and that it is only 1 day per week. If you want to get an MBA without quitting your job, this is a good place to do it."
