Gonzaga University is about teaching students life lessons through a Jesuit education, which appeals to the MBA students in its Graduate School of Business. A great reputation in the business community, especially for its accounting program, and an awesome flexible curriculum structure that is designed with working individuals in mind (with evening and online classes) also draw area business grads to the program, which can be completed full-time in three semesters (including summer, fall, and spring).
Gonzagas MBA curriculum consists of twenty-two credits in core courses (eleven two-credit classes) and eleven credits in electives, and students are given the option for a core-trailer, which gives them a very unique opportunity to focus in on a subject that they enjoyed during the core part of the semester. Students report that the curriculum is broad and covers many aspects of the modern business environment and is a tough workload that stresses excellence. Classes may run from 7:30 a.m . to 8:00 p .m . at night, with break hours in between. Professors integrate course material throughout the program and rarely present contradicting information as the material in the program is well-planned, though some tenured professors dont seem to care about updating their courses anymore. Students also appreciate that the program allows for a flexibility of coursework. Students need to have more opportunities to simulate complex projects and the teamwork needed to solve them, one student notes. Luckily, Gonzagas School of Business is always looking for students input to make those improvements.
