Faculty Information
Students Say
Georgia State’s MBA provides a “strong background in general business areas, while allowing you to focus on your area of interest” through electives and study abroad. “Professors are a mix of experienced professionals and long-tenured educators,” who are “extremely knowledgeable” and able to “make complicated concepts understandable and relevant.” Teaching working professionals, professors excel at “staying up to date with current business trends, from global to local.” Just as importantly, “the business school learning environment depends heavily on your classmates’ experiences.” Since “many of the students have ten-plus years of relevant work experience,” students are pleased to find that their “classmates bring good industry knowledge to discussions.”
Keeping up with classes and professional life is definitely a challenge for many MBA students, as “the program moves at a very fast pace.” At the same time, the “PMBA isn’t as intense or competitive as some full-time programs because everyone is working full time.” Helping to streamline the experience, “the administration is very involved” with students, and it “has perfected making the process easy” on busy working professionals. Staff handles most of the paperwork, so “students don’t have to do any of the ‘administrative’ tasks, like registering or ordering books.” “PMBA facilities are top notch,” located on a number of convenient satellite campuses in Atlanta.

Students Say
Georgia State students are “surrounded by countless opportunities in downtown Atlanta,” and, when time permits, “students enjoy each other ’s company in and out of the classroom.” Spread across several satellite facilities, many students rarely come to the main campus downtown. However, “the program tries to host mixers” for business students, and “the Graduate Business Association puts on a Leadership Speaker Series and several networking/happy hours throughout the year.” As expected for marketing mavens, “events are generally held at trendy, popular venues and executed flawlessly.” In addition to blowing off steam, these events are “excellent opportunities for network- ing and making new friends.” At the same time, students with families note that most student activities are “geared at single, younger students.”
