Academics
The Mays Business School at Texas A&M University offers 鈥渁 great education at a great price鈥 through traditional Full-Time, Executive, and Professional (alternating weekend) MBA programs, with all students selecting an academic track as part of their curriculum. In the Full-Time program, small cohorts help students connect with peers and professors while assuming leadership roles; students who wish to take classes beyond the required three semesters can pursue a Fourth Semester Experience, which offers options ranging from an International Business Certificate (including a semester spent abroad at a partner school) to a certificate in Advanced International Affairs, which requires coursework in intelligence, national security, and diplomatic history. Regardless of which route they choose, all students must take part in the MBA Venture Challenge, evaluating the viability of start-up firms, as well as applying their knowledge to actual clients via a Business Consulting Project.
As a result, the program 鈥渞equires a lot of its students on the front end,鈥 as students complete three-quarters of their classwork by the time they begin their first summer internship, allowing them to go into real-world situations equipped with a majority of their learning already instilled. Coursework is designed 鈥渢o take 鈥 business knowledge and strategy to the next level,鈥 and 鈥渓earning is fast-paced but not overwhelming.鈥 To help with that, faculty 鈥渞eally care about you as an individual,鈥 and the small cohorts 鈥渒eep it less competitive and allow for more effective and real teamwork.鈥 Mays students find that their classmates are 鈥渙pen to constructive criticism, willing to help others succeed, and 鈥 contribute well to a diverse, inclusive, intelligent classroom setting.鈥 Additionally, the staff 鈥渕atch the work [students] put in, and they will continue to push,鈥 ensuring 鈥渢here is individual attention given to the success of every student.鈥
