The University of Florida’s Hough Graduate School of Business online MBA program is “the best overall combination of rankings, student feedback, faculty level, and course structure.” It offers a “high-caliber program with flexibility for a chaotic work environment,” “great value for the cost,” and an “accelerated pace.” Students rave about the “challenging, yet very beneficial” program, which includes “real-life business cases,” a “great online platform to deliver materials,” and “quality instructors.” One student marvels about “the program’s ability to take an online education and foster an environment where in two years time I feel like I know all fifty students in my cohort personally and professionally.” That isn’t an easy task, but one of the ways this is accomplished is by “keeping the same groups for half of the program.” Another is by providing the opportunity “to meet every few months on campus, to connect with cohorts and lecturers.” Students voice the general opinion that “the program allows a good balance” between schoolwork and personal life, although “certain terms are more hectic than others.” One student says, “For most classes, professors are very understanding of life situations and are willing to make accommodations.” Students are dazzled by the “professionalism” and “organization” of the faculty and the overall “execution of the program.” One student states, “Despite being in an online program, the infrastructure and systems operate seamlessly, such that it doesn’t feel like an online experience, rather an in-person one.” The professors are “dynamic” and reinforce the program by contributing “considerable time supporting the classes and the program.” “They have every detail planned to the smallest detail, ensuring all we have to worry about is our classwork. They are outstanding,” claims one student. UF students are equally impressed by the “quality and type of students the program attracts.” They are “consistently high achievers,” “well educated from their undergrad, and with an excellent mixture of professional experience.” One student points out, “My immediate six-person team includes minds from Apple, NASA, and a government entity.”, The Online MBA program at California State University, San Bernardino, a public school, was started in 2013.
