Combine the Southern California climate with a 鈥渇antastic school鈥� offering 鈥済enerous financial aid, and it鈥檚 easy to understand why the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management at UC鈥擱iverside gets such high marks from students. One raves, 鈥淚 am having the time of my life [and]鈥eel very privileged to be here.鈥� Many MBA candidates here are taking their first steps in the business world, as applicants are not required to have work experience鈥攚hich can be a good or bad thing depending on who you talk to. Some feel that the program only offers a 鈥渟urface-level understanding of business.鈥� Other students laud the 鈥渃hallenging鈥� classes, bolstered by the 鈥渧ery accessible鈥� professors who 鈥渃are very much about their students鈥� learning and understanding of the course material.鈥� However, some gripe that a few seem 鈥渕ore focused on research, and not curriculum.鈥�

The six components of an MBA from AGSM are the core courses, an internship, the communication workshop, the electives, a 鈥渃apstone course,鈥� and a case project or thesis.

Though the core courses take up more time than any other single component, students are most enthusiastic about the 鈥渨ide diversity of electives,鈥� which are all seminar size and designed to 鈥渆ncourage participative learning.鈥� One student explains, 鈥淚 love coming to a small school like UCR鈥檚 AGSM. You get real interaction with professors, and all of the students know each other, which allows for tighter bonds and networks.鈥� There are ten areas of electives, and students are allowed to take up to nine courses from any area, such as accounting, entrepreneurial management, finance, general management, human resources management/organizational behavior, international management, management information systems, management science, marketing, and production and operations management.

Most students agree that 鈥渄iscussion is greatly encouraged鈥� in class. A fair number of courses 鈥渞equire presentation with business formal attire鈥� and some 鈥渆ven require group debate.鈥� One student notes, 鈥淚t gives you some pressure, but it鈥檚 fun.鈥� Some lament the feeling that the university 鈥渄oes not attach [enough] importance to our business school,鈥� and hope for this to change in the near future. Others, though conscious that the school is a 鈥渞esearch-oriented university,鈥� wouldn鈥檛 mind getting more 鈥渁ttention from some professors鈥� who they find to be 鈥渕ostly researchers and not lecturers.鈥�

Aside from recent budget cuts, the thing that has most students at AGSM up in arms is the Career Resources Center. As one student says, 鈥淭he school desperately needs a stronger Career Counseling Center designed just for the MBA students.鈥� Another adds, 鈥淚 really think the school should begin to target the school鈥檚 alumni more. There are many UCR MBAs in the industry and they could be a real resource and asset to the school.鈥� The MBA now has its own Career Services, which should help alleviate many of the students鈥� concerns regarding 鈥渏ob placement,鈥� 鈥渋nternships,鈥� and 鈥減rofessional networking.鈥�

In recent years, Riverside, California has undergone both something of a renaissance and an influx of people. Gone are the days of quiet orange groves, and in their place resides the veritable capital of the Inland Empire. Whether your tastes run to the great outdoors or to great shopping, students find 鈥減lenty of unique hangouts, interesting shopping, and a wide variety of eats to fit anyone鈥檚 desires (and budget).鈥� Some MBA students feel that they 鈥渓ack social activities鈥� within the program, though in many instances this could be blamed on the large amount of 鈥渉omework鈥� these students undertake. That said, as the university (and those that surround it) continue to grow, students can expect more avenues to their social outlets to open.

The school itself is housed in a 30,000-square-foot building that features 鈥渟tate-of-the-art research and teaching facilities.鈥� MBA students agree that their 鈥渃omputer lab is very nice鈥� and relish that they, as MBAs, 鈥渉ave priority over all computers in the lab.鈥� Other students gripe that they鈥檙e stuck in 鈥渁 small building that consists of one lecture room and one classroom. Our school has suffered greatly from the previous budget cuts.鈥� Still, the building must have something going for it because 鈥淢BA students rarely venture onto the main campus at [UC Riverside], unless it鈥檚 to go to the library or bookstore.鈥�

Students report that 鈥渕ost people are very nice, and it is easy to meet new people if you try.鈥� These 鈥渧ery laid-back and friendly鈥� students have formed 鈥渁 tight-knit community here because our graduate program is so small.鈥� 鈥淚 pretty much know and am friends with every other MBA student,鈥� says one. Due to the proximity of students, there is 鈥渁 level of competition between students during academic competitions and presenta- tions,鈥� but most happily note that 鈥渋t is healthy and in good fun.鈥�
