I am current student, soon to be graduated (FEMBA 2016). When I was applying for part time programs back in 2012-13 there were only few schools who made to the ranking system for part time from west and location being my constraint that was my primary criteria to select. I ended up selecting UCLA based on location and the ranking.
Now that I am almost done with the program, I recommend this school over any in southern California. The students that get admitted to it are elite, smartest and diverse. I got to learn from them as much as I got to learn from the classes itself. All the class discussions were so rich in content that at the end of 33 months I am happy that I did it.
There are definitely things that can be improved like the facilities itself (more study rooms, class rooms), more options for electives. But the school has been improving in these area a lot. I am sure in future they are going to do the best.
As a working professional, this is the best part time program targeted and catered toward working schedules.
