Results of Assessment

2001-2002 (submitted 09/16/02)

Outcomes Data Results 2002-2003
MBA students will enhance their career opportunities upon the completion of the  MBA program. Exit focus group indicated that our 2001 MBA graduates desired more assistance with career placement. MBA Career Development workshops were developed and offered beginning in the Fall of 2001. Assessment will continue using periodic student and alumni interviews and an exit focus group of 2002 MBA graduates.
MBA students with a non-business undergraduate degree will have a flexible curriculum that provides them a necessary foundation for advanced MBA classes. MBA student interviews indicated some dissatisfaction with the use of undergraduate courses to provide the MBA foundation requirements. MBA level foundation courses were developed in order to streamline the leveling requirements and fit the MBA evening hybrid course format. Assessment will continue using periodic MBA student interviews and an exit focus group of 2002 MBA graduates.
MBA students will have an attractive set of electives from which to choose as they  pursue their academic and career interests. Interviews with MBA students indicated a desire for more MBA electives from which to choose. Several new elective courses were developed in order to provide a greater assortment of electives from which to choose. Assessment will continue using periodic MBA student interviews and an exit focus group of 2002 MBA graduates.
MBA students will acquire the statistical skills they need to perform well in advanced MBA classes. Student interviews and course assessment data for the MBA 6041 statistics course indicated that many students struggled to acquire the necessary competency in an 8 week time frame. The MBA 6041 course was changed to incorporate a 2 week pre-session, a competency exam, and the use of a statistics tutor to assist MBA students. Assessment will continue using follow-up interviews with MBA 6041 students and use of the standard MBA course assessment instrument.
