Students Say
“A very focused professional MBA,” the curriculum includes thirty-six credit hours of upper-level business courses, of which twenty-seven are core courses in economics, accounting, marketing, management, and other key business areas. With the remaining nine elective credits, students may choose to pursue a concentration in marketing or finance. Throughout the curriculum, there is an emphasis on collaboration, with a “cohort-based” program that maintains students within the same small academic community during the full MBA. Note that the program does not allow flexibility in the academic calendar; “the classes are prescheduled to keep the cohort together.” Throughout the program, professors rely on case-based instruction, encouraging students to use critical thinking skills and real-world experience to solve business problems in the classroom. This interactive approach to education is particularly effective at Miami University, as students are “extremely intelligent with a lot of work experience,” making them valuable contributors to class discussion. In fact, students range from “very early in their career to executives that have owned multiple companies.” Staying on top of the coursework is not always a breeze, but it is rewarding: “Academically, the work is a challenge to keep up with, but it is that challenge that keeps it engaging.”

Career Overview
Students Say
While they are looking to advance their career, most students aren’t actively looking for a new job after graduation. At the same time, “Miami is well known in the Cincinnati area,” so the degree is a good investment in the future.

Campus Life
Students Say
There are no residential facilities on campus; “everyone in the program lives in the great- er Cincinnati Area” and commutes to school in the evenings. As a result, “the concept of student life in a classical sense does not apply” to the experience. Nonetheless, the atmosphere at the business school is consistently friendly and professional. Most Miami students are “highly motivated professionals,” who are always “intelligent, profes- sional, and pleasant” in dealing with their classmates. The cohort structure encourages networking and relationships among MBA candidates, to good effect. A current student tells us, “The forty people that are in my class are like family to me now after two years.”
