Academics
Washington University鈥檚 stellar MBA program 鈥渉as a reputation for academic excellence without a hyper-competitive atmosphere.鈥 The small class sizes really allow for a 鈥渃ommunity based learning experience, [both] in and out of the classroom.鈥 Additionally, Olin affords students a 鈥渓arge degree of flexibility in course selection鈥 and many 鈥渃redits can be electives.鈥 Ultimately, this 鈥減rovides students with a lot of freedom to design their own path.鈥 Further, most MBA candidates highlight both the finance and entrepreneurship programs as especially strong.
Just as essential, Olin manages to attract (and retain) 鈥渧ery friendly and smart鈥 professors who are quite 鈥渁pproachable and鈥illing to spend time talking with you and discussing about current trends in business.鈥 Indeed, they 鈥渁re generally very interested in individuals outside of their presence in the classroom, and they are even willing to share contacts with past students if a connection can be made.鈥
For the most part, students have had positive interactions with the administration as well. A second-year shares, 鈥淭he administration and staff [are] very engaging and willing to help out wherever possible鈥very challenge I have faced was resolved within a week.鈥 A content peer chimes in, 鈥淭he school鈥檚 administration and faculty met and exceeded my expectations. They strive to make the program an individualized experience: one where you feel as though you, as an individual, have the potential to bring significant value to the program, the classroom, and the Olin community.鈥 Finally, a first-year student succinctly summarizes, 鈥淭he overall academic experience has been phenomenal.鈥
