University of Utah offers a forward-thinking MBA program with a “modern approach [and] a focus on technology and entrepreneurship.” From day one, students will benefit from the “emphasis on business technology and analytics” and a “focus on … the strategic mindset.” They’ll also find “experiential opportunities [that are] a huge draw.” And perhaps just as importantly, Utah offers a “good amount of flexibility in tailoring course work to your interests.” As one student shares, “The structure of the program allowed me to balance my rigorous work schedule while completing my MBA.” But don’t worry about that flexibility coming at a cost: the program here has connections to the surrounding area too. With a “close association … [to] the Sorenson Impact Center and Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute,” attendees can participate in a program that “pairs faculty inventors with business students to help bring their new products to market.” This is often enticing for those who have a “strong interest in product innovation and [want] hands-on experience in this space.”
As for the “world-class faculty”? They’re “nothing short of amazing,” working diligently to ensure their courses are “relevant … to the current business climate.” Overall, they are “smart, well prepared, funny, easily accessible, [and] well organized.” What’s more, Eccles’ cohorts are “smaller than most, which helps [students] form tight bonds” with their professors. Additionally, “the administrative staff know everyone” and are “genuinely invested in each student's unique academic and career path.” These close relationships extend into the student body as well: One current enrollee elaborates, “In the first year of the program, every student takes nearly every class together. Students spend so much time together that we become very close and engaged in each other’s lives.”
