• The course curriculum was detailed and personally, I didn’t find it difficult. It was a mix of both and that’s the main reason I chose the program. It has simulations and case studies that keep you engaged.
• Positive-engaging, real-life applications, more based on reality and not theory.
• Negative—sometimes repetitive—the first semester is nothing new for a business major in bachelors.
