Fogelman College of Business and Economics at the University of Memphis is a no-nonsense professional MBA program designed for working people 鈥渇rom all walks of business life鈥� who are looking to further their careers but who don鈥檛 have a lot of time or energy to waste. The school has a solid reputation among locally-based businesses like FedEx. One student holds Memphis in such high regard that she has two degrees from there: 鈥淭he University of Memphis is where I received my BBA in accounting. I liked my experience there, and I knew that an MBA from there would open many doors in the company that I work for.鈥�

Students say their 鈥渧ery knowledgeable鈥� professors 鈥減resent concepts completely鈥� and help them relate the course material to practice. 鈥淓ach of them has done extensive research in their field and [is] noted to be among the best in the country for their area of expertise.鈥� Another student says: 鈥淓very professor is interested in the development of each student into future managers and business leaders.鈥� The administration does not receive the same ringing endorsement, however. Some take issue with the allocation of funds in certain areas. One student was succinct and blunt: 鈥淪olid professors, good academic experience, but really bad administration that spends money鈥� excessively.

Some students also have difficulty with course selection and enrollment; many required or desired classes are offered only once per semester under limited enrollment, and these courses 鈥渙ften conflict with each other.鈥� Since pretty much all of the courses take place in the evenings to accommodate the vast majority of students who have day jobs, there鈥檚 very little leeway in terms of scheduling. But these night classes also give part-time and full-time students the opportunity to interact with each other through 鈥渟mall classes and heavy teamwork,鈥� something not found in a lot of MBA programs. 鈥淎 lot of projects are team-based, so you get to know classmates very well.鈥� One student takes away warm feelings about the camaraderie he felt at the school: 鈥淚 have a new set of best friends. I never thought it was possible after reaching age forty.鈥�

In keeping with the no-frills approach to the program, however, the facilities tend toward the sparse side. Several students expressed disdain for the academic buildings and equipment and spoke of the need for 鈥渕ore technology in the classroom.鈥� One student said the classrooms 鈥渘eed better seating. The desks were made for 4th graders.鈥�

Some students say the program needs better ties to 鈥渂ig industries鈥� to provide those students seeking out new or nonlocal careers with better job prospects. Fortunately for the students looking to stay in the area (and there are many), 鈥渢here are several excellent companies in the area, also, that recruit heavily,鈥� and since the student body is, as one student puts it, 鈥渘ot nearly as competitive as I expected,鈥� everyone is 鈥渧ery supportive鈥� and happy to help each other land available positions. Another boon to the school鈥檚 local reputation is the recently formed partnership with the Leadership Academy. The partnership, known as the Community Internship, gives MBA students the chance to team with Leadership Academy fellows on projects designed to benefit the community.

The school is located in the midtown area of Memphis, which 鈥渋s great for students because there are a lot of social establishments nearby鈥� offering 鈥渁 lot of things for students to do recreationally.鈥� Of course, there are the well-traveled destinations like Graceland (check out Elvis鈥� gaudy yellow and black rec room), Sun Studios, and the famous Beale Street, with its string of live-music joints and soul food. And the National Civil Rights Museum, located at the old Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr., assassinated in 1968, is a haunting must-see for tourists and locals alike. Overall, 鈥渢he University of Memphis, like the city of Memphis, is greatly underrated,鈥� one student says.

Since 鈥渕ost graduate students work and commute,鈥� little time is left for a social life outside of the classroom, but there鈥檚 a foundation for friendship and networking among the 鈥渙utgoing鈥� and 鈥渇riendly鈥� individuals that attend Fogelman. Though some think 鈥渢he school could put more effort into organized activities for students outside of class,鈥� the 鈥渂usy鈥� nature of the student body doesn鈥檛 lend itself to much free time anyway, so complaints are few. Everyone is in agreement over the variety of backgrounds provided by their classmates: 鈥淭he graduate population is very diverse, which makes things more interesting.鈥� 鈥淵ou have a great opportunity to meet people from various backgrounds (educational and ethnic),鈥� another student says.
