Academics
Wright State University’s Raj Soin College of Business offers a “great education for a low price.” In addition to a traditional full-time MBA, Wright State offers cohort MBA programs that meet in the evenings or on the weekends to accommodate the needs of working students. The weekend program is held at three different campuses in the Dayton area to maximize convenience. The majority of students attend part time, and they appreciate that they can get a “great” education without “sacrificing too much of their work life,” and that the school is “very commuter friendly.” Students at other part-time MBA programs often complain about their ability to get into classes, but at Wright State, “picking and choosing classes online is very easy and convenient,” and there are always “many seats available.”
The academic program at Wright State provides an in-depth, multi-disciplinary understanding of business, while emphasizing ethics, sustainability, and a global perspective. Some students are required to take foundation courses, though students who took similar classes as undergraduates and did well in them may be exempt. Students can then choose a concentration in one of several areas, including Business Economics, Finance, International Business, and New Venture Creation to further specialize in their fields of interest. The school offers students the opportunity to take trips abroad to attend classes and meet with international business leaders while learning more about global markets and economic issues.
Classes at Wright State “foster innovation and creativity.” The workload is “challenging,” but “manageable,” which is another bonus for working students. Most professors are “top-notch” and “passionate” and “provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the real world.” Overall, dedicated professors are one of the many aspects of life at Wright State that help students “become well-rounded business professionals.” One student shares, “This school is on the rise and is poised to be a leader not only in the country, but the world.”
