QUALITY OF PROFESSORS

The quality of professors can make or break the student experience for any graduate program, particularly online. We asked alumni to rate their professors in overall quality as well as in accessibility and responsiveness. As with other questions, respondents rated professors on a 10-point scale.

Alumni at University of Utah (Eccles) rated their faculty the highest for quality with an average 9.9. Indiana Kelley and University of Michigan (Ross) faculty followed close behind with 9.8. In all, alumni from 34 programs rated professor quality 9 or higher.

When rated on their accessibility and responsiveness, Hofstra University (Zarb) professors earned a perfect 10. Professors from four other programs were rated 9.9 by their alumni for professor responsiveness: Indiana University (Kelley), Jack Welch Management Institute, University of Utah (Eccles), and Villanova University.

An impressive 43 of 57 schools earned a score of 9 or higher in the metric from alumni.
