University of California - Los Angeles Reviews of MBA Programs

"Terrible experience for my first graduate program in this country. I am an international student and this school left me with bad taste. I was looked down upon by both students and program staff for my language fluency and my job. Professors are overrated. Every professor has their own personal agenda and is there to look for their own career. Some professors are flirty. Beautiful people get an easy pass and more marketing and personal branding opportunities. The staff lack ethics and integrity. Shameful for a public school! They teach topics that are of no use to the real tech. world. We are students trying to make a break into our careers and the MBA program does not give us the necessary tools for us to go into the world with confidence. There is no career help or guidance too. Once we graduate, professors and alum staff drop us like hot potatoes, which says a lot about the culture. If a student speaks up, they get targeted and the door is shut on their faces - meaning, they will not get any more help, guidance from the over-rated professors, who think they are Gods. Please ask the alums. Go to a private university like USC. You will be treated better."
