Berry College is a small private school, located on a beautiful and expansive wooded campus in Rome, Georgia. This setting provides a unique backdrop for the Campbell School of Business, which unites a savvy MBA curriculum with a friendly and intimate atmosphere. Within the greater Rome area, Berry College is a 鈥渃onvenient and reputable鈥 choice for an MBA, with all classes offered in the evenings (classes meet one night per week throughout the fall, spring, and summer terms). Located fewer than 100 miles from Atlanta and Chattanooga, the program is designed for working professionals, as well as early-career students. For full-time students, the school offers the opportunity to take on a graduate assistantship position, which offsets the cost of tuition in exchange for hours worked on campus.

Along with the master of education, the MBA is one of two graduate programs offered at Berry, and the atmosphere reflects the intimate atmosphere of the undergraduate college. With a low enrollment, the 鈥渟mall class sizes and the relationships students have with professors鈥 are the best parts of the educational experience. Here, professors 鈥渁re always willing to help and seem happy to be there, teaching the courses.鈥 Bringing strong educational and professional backgrounds to the program, 鈥渢he faculty at Berry [is] surprisingly accomplished,鈥 and students note a 鈥減rofessional commitment to academic excellence鈥 throughout the faculty and staff. Berry is an interactive environment where students are encouraged to participate in class discussions, and those who have already entered the workforce often 鈥渉ave interesting stories and work experience to contribute to class.鈥 While the benefits are manifold, the low enrollment also has some drawbacks. For example, course scheduling can be difficult because 鈥渢he school does not offer all required classes at all times. Just once every two years.鈥 In addition, the elective offerings are more limited at Berry than at larger institutions; some feel it would be a benefit to have 鈥渕ore classes, more options鈥 within the MBA curriculum.

Overseen by a competent administration, 鈥渢he school is run well,鈥 and the curriculum is well-designed, emphasizing a holistic approach to business. The MBA begins with a series of proficiency requirements in accounting, marketing, statistics, economics, finance, and management鈥攂ut these can be waived for students who have an undergraduate degree in business. Thereafter, all students must complete twenty-one credit hours of core courses and nine credit hours of business electives (students may also earn course credit for internships), which cover a range of topics including written and oral communication skills, leadership, and ethics. Typically, students complete the program in two years, though the college allows up to six years of study.
