FACULTY QUALITY & ACCESSIBILITY
Good professors are worth their weight in gold – both in the classroom and out.
We ask alumni to rate their business school professors on a 10-point scale with the following questions:
- How would you rate the quality of teaching in business courses?
- Were business school faculty members available for informal discussions and mentoring outside of class?
