14 Best Mba Programs In Cleveland, OH (2022 Updated)

I am an alumni. B.S. Chemical Engineering 2008, M.S. Biomedical Engineering 2012. I chose CSU as my undergrad school over Case Western because Case is ridiculously expensive and I received a full scholarship to CSU. My mother told me I could choose whatever school I wanted but if I passed the scholarship up for 40k+ a year in debt she would kill me. Thanks mom, you were right as always! The Chemical and Biomedical Engineering departments are outstanding. Great faculty, small class sizes, professors that legitimately care about the students but also won't put up with BS from students that aren't taking their own (or their classmates') education seriously. The head of the BME department at the time had a major impact on my life. He personally took interest in helping me get a full scholarship during the second year of my M.S. (Choose Ohio First scholarship), helped me land a Teaching Assistant position AND a fantastic internship. THANK YOU! CSU is not perfect though. I had some bad professors (and also excellent ones) in the math and physics departments. That is hard to avoid at any school. Many of the school departments are much, much bigger than mine so you may lose some of the personal interest from professors when your graduating undergrad class is more than 12 like mine. I tried to make use of the career center multiple times but they were not helpful in job searching. Also the Fenn College of Engineering (now the Washkewicz College of Engineering) building is woefully old and dated. It's so bad that in my second year in 2006 a metal fence had to be put about 10 – 15 feet in front of the building facade so no one would be injured by the crumbling concrete. I wish I was joking. The engineering labs were also filled with old equipment, the classrooms were missing technology that is standard in other schools like projectors. Note that this was all before the very generous donation from Mr. Washkewicz so I hope things have improved. The only other complaint I have is that my graduation requirements changed a couple times during my B.S. and I had a VERY difficult time finding out if I was on track for graduation. In fact I wasn't sure that I was going to graduate until I got confirmation about a month before graduation! Even with these complaints I had a great experience at CSU, which is why I went back for my M.S. after briefly considering Ohio State University. It was my professors and department that made the decision easy, they had a great positive effect on my life and I owe a lot to them.Jim

I'm a business student currently in my third year at CSU (transferred from Kent State) and have nothing but good things to say about this school. The campus is beautiful and right in the center of Downtown, giving you easy access to tons of interesting things to do in Cleveland. The general vibe of the campus is very laid back and friendly, and despite what other reviews seem to say, this is a very liberal/progressive and diverse school with many students of all walks of life. I feel I have received a perfectly adequate education at CSU, as someone who cares mainly about getting ready for a career and moving into the business world. There are good professors and bad ones, but the majority of them have been very likeable and knowledgeable. Many of my business professors have lots of real world experience and many years working in their field. I cannot comment on the other departments, but the business school is excellent and has many career services available to students. As a commuter student I love the RTA pass they provide, so I don't have to worry about driving and parking downtown (yes, their parking situation is pretty terrible here). Finally I'd like to say shame on the idiots who are giving my school 1-star reviews because of a faux pas made by the administration. The first amendment comment was misinformed, but it's far from supporting the offensive poster. Anyone trying to paint CSU as anti-LGBTQ because of that poster debacle is ignorant.Steven Barnes

I love Cleveland State. I am a biology pre-med major and the department is great. However, if you live in the dorms, don't plan on getting your mail anytime soon. It takes at least 10 days added on to the normal mail time to receive any type of letter or package. I ended up just getting a P.O. box at a local post office. The education and clubs are great. There are so many great opportunities here to take advantage of. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to live in the city and get a great education.Madison Chapanar

BW provides a well rounded education. With that being said, your program of study will most likely consist of general education courses. BW degree programs usually do not provide a focused study on your major. Instead, the focus is liberal arts. I attended BW for a short time and majored in Criminal Justice. During that time I discovered that most of the classes for my major had little to nothing to do with Criminal Justice. They were mostly liberal arts courses. This is true of many other degree programs. No matter what your major, you will only take a few classes that are actually relevant to your major. In summary, if you enjoy a small campus atmosphere, if you are satisfied with a degree that does not provide a focused study on your major, if you want some prestige on your degree, and if you are willing to spend $900 per credit, then Baldwin Wallace is certainly the place for you.Tracer Films

It's a good school and the campus is really nice. Best thing is probably the professors. I loved 95% of my professors. Worst part of the school is the surrounding area. It's pretty boring, but then again, that's not why you're going. Also, the weather sucks, but for a smaller school it has a lot to offer in the way of activities.Cortney Zeiler

My daughter went to BW and we couldn't have asked for a better college. You are not just a number, the staff is very helpful and caring. My daughter had lots of great internship opportunities, travel opportunities and still has a close relationship with professors and the school. Great experience!Debbie Bryant

Lakewood University has been one of the greatest online experiences I have ever.had. From the ease of navigation through my courses the online library, how easy it is to communicate with my professors, and student services is hands down the best interactive services I have had at any school I have attended. I will be completing my Bachelors program soon and I will also be pursuing my Masters there as well. I have finally found a University that I feel supports me without me having to feel like I don't understand how to navigate from day to day and from class to class because my academic progress is my pace not from semester to semester with expectations that impede my ability to keep up because I am employed and a single father of 2 as well. Lakewood University is the best.Craig Dunson

From the time I started with my admissions advisor my time at Lakewood and been an easy breeze as far as anything the school offered or had control over. I had to stop and go back, that was easier than it was went I went to a different school. Having access to my assignments, instructors, and various staff members was refreshing to say the least. The customer service and the willingness to help students has been unmatched in my experience. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone especially military personnel and or veterans.J'handra Williams

I am extremely happy to be a part of Lakewood U. The amount of assistance i have been given leads to a confident graduate result. It has not been glitch free, but hats off to the staff. So far, every need i have addressed or problem i have faced has been meet with prompt attention. Sometimes by a couple of team members. The system is easy to learn and specific instructions are provided for everything. I wish my fellow students long life and may you prosper.Kevin Gentry

I majored in Marketing and then went on to get my MBA in this lovely little building. The Bloomberg room and high-tech classrooms are great for hands-on learning and team projects. The faculty in the school are very experienced in their fields and are happy to share real-world examples during class to help make the material stick. Recently they added large touch screens, mics, and cameras to many of the rooms, which has been a game-changer for online/in-person teaching during covid.Heather

Easy parking, nice facilities, helpful concierge and facility staff. Comfortable and safe. I would recommend this venue for any company looking to rent space. When you schedule your event, tell them Joe sent you…they will say Joe Who…that's me.J. V. Rychman

Was here for a conference. Clean space with good signage to get you to the correct room easily. All of the food was excellent! Free WiFi code was easy to find by the main entrance.Scott Trimmer

Beware when you try to do the online Bachelor program at this university. The staff members are not reliable at all. I called so many times about my transcript and nobody called me back for several days. Finally they said the staff who worked on this was on vacation and would work on it when she comes back. I called the other time for technical support and again , nobody picked up the phone and nobody called back for several days. When I called the office in Seven hills try to talk to someone, they put me on hold for over 10 minutes and they were hoping that I was going to hang up the call. The whole system in this university is very unorganized. Most staff there don't have work ethics at all. If you are going to choose a school to go, stay away from this one. They only want your money and they definitely don't want to answer any questions or offer any assistance to you.云知晓

Indiana Wesleyan University has helped me accomplish my bachelor's degree when I thought it would be impossible! From the hours of operation, class schedules, curriculum, prayers, amazing staff and professors….I really can't say enough. A Special shoutout to Jim Drazdik for his help and acts of kindness throughout my educational journey at IWU. Thank you all so much!! I am forever grateful.Crisalida Parker

Love Case for all it offers. Amazing location, beautiful parks, botanical garden, museum and close proximity to city and all the landmarks make it well loved by all the students and parents alike. The MBA course i am enrolled in has been doing so well in terms of curriculums so far. Hope to achieve more as i progress into my second year!anshul gupta

A very clean university, inside and out. The workers in the area are very respectful n' cheery to coworkers n' customers. Nothing too problematic happens in the area which is very important. Only down side is; people don't know how to drive between 3pm -7pm.Kami Woodson

I don't actually attend school there, but love walking through the campus. Grounds are beautiful & always well kept. Post-Covid watching the University come back to life is welcome.Janice Lewis

This beautiful campus nestled in a quiet residential suburb, close to the main arteries of traffic to access Cleveland, Ohio's cultural, sports, and entertainment venues. It has coordinated architecture, lovely landscaping, and is well and artfully lit. Neighbors frequent the campus as much as students do. During COVID there are fewer people, of course, but everyone seems to be responsible and follows the health guidelines. The only drawback is when driving on campus, because there are no more than two entries, one wastes a lot of gas because of the traffic pattern laid out. Also, there are 3 triangle-shaped marked to indicate each lane, over the whole campus, but someone painted these arrows 180 degrees from normal. The arrows point AT the driver, instead of indicating the direction one is headed. Also, of all the Universities and colleges in the area (at least 10), this is the ONLY one with just two highly guarded,, rigorous checkpoints by security. One wonders what they must be guarding. This is a lovely campus, with two of the US best Business (Boler) and Communications (Russert) departments. I go to JCU many times a week and am never bored.Pamela N.

Nearly a decade ago, I set foot on the campus of John Carroll. I thought I didn't want to go the university that was so close to home (I'm from Shaker). But soon, I discovered that Carroll is a school where you can find professors who are deeply concerned about your educational experience, and you, yourself, as an individual. I received a business education from true professionals in their field, not merely academics, and thrived in the boundless study abroad opportunities that Carroll provides. I am thankful for the memories, the friends, and the effort that the faculty and staff took to make my college experience personally fulfilling, and fruitful to betterment of others in my community.Ryan S

Excellent University. Has a great Leadership Development minor program. Also has one of the top rated business programs in the country for a regional University. No masks required in the classrooms. Update: for the start of the 2022 fall semester things are pretty much back to normal dividers are down in the classrooms masks are not required. However, students and faculty May wear them at their own discretion.Kevin Wallace

The professors were biased and use techniques to belittle students. On the website, it is laughable that the non-discriminatory is displayed. Moreover, that school is a sham! When I declared my major for Business Administration; I was told that the major just listed as an option for entrance in the business school but it is not an actual major. I was told to declare my major in Accounting (which is very different from that imaginary major). I end up transferring and went to a better university that is more credible and worth paying for. My suggestion is not to waste a penny not the time on that school because even if the individual has enough credits and courses to graduate; the staff will still have the individual take a few more courses (just to get more money).ladytye826

Outstanding dual AACSB accredited college of business, two accreditation’s making them one of only 173 business schools in the world to achieve that distinction, top 50 nationally ranked public business school focusing on leveraging the strength of local business leaders’ involvement to getting students career ready and connected. Outstanding hire rate within 90 days or less of gradation and major emphasis on paid internshipsKevin Smith

My experience at The CBA has been nothing but positive. The Finance Department is full of experienced professionals in their industries from a number of diverse backgrounds. The College of Business Administration, great student organizations, and faculty are truly an asset to the city, and the region as a whole.Danny Berzinskas

I had an incredible experience as an undergraduate in the CBA and I continue to proudly serve as a mentor and board member today! The opportunities for our students are endless and the instructors and administrators are top notch! #GoZipsShon Christy

Do not go here they steal your money, ignore students, and the deans cannot be bothered to answer questions or emails because they are too busy with their fancy parties. The professors cannot be bothered to actually make coherent lesson plans with an actual syllabus even though professors teach the same classes every year. The professors will pick on you especially if you are a female student, while I had a male legal writing tutor who came to tutoring smellling like weed with red eyes who the school absolutely loves and praises.maria dahlmer
