The Full-Time MBA Experience
The full-time MBA experience combines small class sizes, meaningful engagement with faculty and peers, and an applied MBA curriculum built around real-world work with corporate partners. With partnerships across hundreds of corporations, you’ll sharpen skills through team-based projects. For every hour in the classroom, students typically spend two to three hours outside of class studying and working in teams.
Social and extracurricular activities on campus and in the Raleigh community shape a collaborative MBA community. Through student organizations, career-focused programming, and MBA networking opportunities, you’ll build connections at NC State that continue long after graduation.
Having those tight-knit relationships with your peers really lends itself to a more collaborative environment for learning. If we didn’t have great instructors, we would have to rely on those to experience significant growth. But here, we get both. I think that’s pretty amazing.
