Good but there's always something to improve
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I loved the on campus experience and overall how the university quickly adapted to an online model due to COVID-19. I believe there is room for improvement in the academic quality and some professor's methodology. At times it felt it lacked rigor and was rather shallow.
Awesome place to learn management
