The Full-Time MBA at the Harbert College of Business at Alabama’s Auburn University is a lock-step curriculum in which students enter with their cohort and leave with their cohort an expedited sixteen months later, fulfilling core requirements, electives, and an international trip along the way. Life at Auburn University offers students “the ability to be challenged and excel at the same time,” while the MBA program is “affordable and welcoming to students,” with many graduate assistantships awarded to MBA students to help offset tuition costs. The facilities are “high-quality and easily accessed,” and the classrooms integrate technology so that classes are recorded and available for viewing later (“which helps with studying”).
Professors “take the time to get to know everyone in the program and go above and beyond to help in any way possible” and will “bend over backwards to accommodate students.” They are “fair and open to criticism if students think something is unclear” and “teach with a passion and deep understanding of their respective subjects”: every professor and administrator at Auburn University “is there to help the students succeed” and “does a great job of integrating real-world experience into their curriculum.” They will “always make time for any student that is having issues in a course or that is wanting to know more information about a subject they are interested in” and “enjoy questions, participation and even constructive criticism.” The program format also cultivates an “amazing team work environment” where everyone “gets along well and enjoys each other’s company” and values intellectual contribution.
