MAKING CONNECTIONS

One thing that sets great online MBA programs apart from mediocre ones is the opportunity for students to make connections and to get involved with their school. We asked alumni three questions to measure this: Their ability to connect with classmates, their connection to faculty, and their satisfaction with student clubs and organizations.

Rate your satisfaction with opportunities to create good connections with fellow students.
