Emory is not a good b-school program - this is telling in a few different areas: the academic staff, the facilities, their covid 19 response, and their career services.
Avoid and consider another school, don't make the same mistake I did please...
Goizueta is struggling to maintain professors for their life. Each semester, their class offerings get slimmer and slimmer, and students with diverse interests are left with little variety in classes to take. This is reflected by professors constantly leaving and being replaced with mediocre professors. Most classes here (I should say there are some exceptions) will leave you with feeling of jokes - be prepared for professors to be openly hostile and dismissive to students.
From a pre-pandemic standpoint, the building is inadequate. You share resources with undergrad BBA students, which on paper is fine, but in practice means that you have no space to study, conduct coffee chats, or hangout on campus. The Goizueta building is in dire need of renovations - the biggest room can barely fit in the class size.
The school decided that the optimal way to respond to classes moving online would be to increase tuition. Very rich of them... So for an experience that costs them less to administer, you end up paying more. They claim to be leaders in diversity, and working towards an inclusive class -- how can you even make these claims with a straight face when your class is 70% male.
While the school does maintain an expansive career network in and around Atlanta , the career student services are awful! I saw a career coach tell a student face to face that they are not ready for an interview. That's great energy. They do get companies on campus, I will say that - but be prepared to do all the interview prep and work yourself. They don't help. Also, if you're interested in recruiting outside of Atlanta, be prepared to do all the work yourself.

Thanks for sharing. I’m highly considering Goizueta. While this review isn’t going to keep me from applying, its interesting to read a “non-rosey” perspective. I’m wondering if many others share your sentiment and if the school takes student feedback into consideration.
Hi Uthet, wondering if you have any other thoughts/ideas to share about the MBA Experience and career outcomes after Emory.
Thank you!
