The MBA degree at the School of Business Administration at Oakland University builds upon a solid understanding of business and global fundamentals, adding in the leadership tools of a successful manager, such as sharing information effectively and working with scarce resources. The “no-hassle approach to the curriculum” is caseand action-based, and classes for the standard Part-Time program meet on weeknights from Monday to Thursday, with some available online. Concentrations are offered in 10 different areas (including Management Information Systems, Business Analytics, and Supply Chain Management). Overall, the “class schedule is manageable for those who need to work while going to school.” And for the students coming directly from college, the school provides “a streamlined transition from their undergrad to graduate within the school of business.”
Professors here are “really awesome, helpful, smart, and difficult teachers,” with students saying that “the industry-based professors are the best.” One shares, “The school benefits from professors connected to the real world and [who] have worked outside of academia.” Oakland provides a “small school experience” in which any student “can easily get help from professors” who provide “so many opportunities.” The students all work closely together too, as “there are a lot of group projects.” As for the facilities themselves, they have “very good integration with technology,” so “it’s enjoyable being on campus.”
