10 Best Mba Programs In Memphis, TN (2022 Updated)

A native of Memphis, TN, now residing in Jacksonville, FL. I am motivated to persevere at achieving my PhD in Psychology. Home last summer, I saw the expansion of LeMoyne-Owen College! Regal. Proud to be a part of the success! My new city houses Edward Waters College, under the Presidency of Dr. Nathaniel Glover, a very courageous and pioneering chief.Gail Andrews

So disappointed with the customer service of the ladies in the RECORDS OFFICE. As an alumni, I would expect to be treated differently. Tried getting my official transcript sent to an employer, and you would have thought I asked them to do their job!Joy Harden

The University of Memphis is a great urban University in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. It has grown and developed tremendously over the last 20 years. I am an alumnus with bachelor's and master's degrees in business. My father earned his EdD here, my wife (accounting) and one of my children (music) are also graduates, and I have two more children that will be seniors this year, one in child development and one in French. There are many notable alumni, including Brad Martin, the retired chairman of the board of Saks Incorporated, who could live anywhere in the world and chooses to live in Memphis, TN. My degrees from Memphis prepared me well and have served me well in my 28 year career in financial services. I still have close connections with some of my grad school professors, and I teach in the business college as an adjunct. We have many dedicated and deeply experienced faculty who truly care about their students. Like all organizations, not all employees are as strong or friendly or caring as others, but the majority of the people I have worked with and was taught by are excellent. Memphis has great facilities (getting better all the time), and a strong, diverse, and highly engaged student body. As with all higher education, you will get out of it what you put into it. My kids have all placed a high priority on their education (partly because we did, but also on their own) and as a result have done well academically and socially. They have been highly involved in campus life, including numerous academic, social, and professional student organizations. They have truly thrived and grown and matured here. I am proud to call the University of Memphis my alma matter.Richard Marsh

Any time I've had to deal with administration over credits, applications for scholarship/dorm/etc. something has been messed up and its a nightmare to fix. I wish the school cared less about sports and more about my major, and how we don't have much in the way of resources. The food was pretty bad when I had a meal plan but I've heard its getting better. My time in the LLC was pretty fun. My professors have been great. The library is great, except for the time they charged me $300 in overdue fees when I returned all my books on time, and I had to talk to 3 people before one finally looked for my books, which were all sitting on the shelves. Wish tuition wasn't going up. Literally anything that has to do with money or bureaucracy is a nightmare – when I dealt with Bursar's they give me eye rolls and sighs and act like I'm the biggest inconvenience because the classes I paid for and passed with A's aren't showing on my transcript and it's screwing me out of scholarships! I don't know where the university finds its employees. But I absolutely loved my program and my professors! I just hate that my school is run like a for-profit business!!!Breanna Parker

Advisors are slow to respond to emails, ya have to contact advisors a week in advance to schedule something, rather than within a week regardless of deadlines. I am a transfer student and i have received a letter saying they have my records however when i sign for classes online it says i need prerequisites i have already taken and so i tried getting a permit but their permit site is down. the registration processs is more confusing than anything and is very fustrating. Also to reach somebody by phone you have to wait absolutely forever before you may get a hold of someone, it is rediculous.Jon McCarthy

100% one the best choices I’ve ever made in life was to attend CBU for undergrad & grad school. These incredible professors believed in me when no one else did, including myself. Now, I desire to become a professor like the ones who’ve so lovingly and wisely imparted their knowledge and good attributes to me. Recommend strongly to anyone considering this university.Anthony Maranise

Pricey. Not worth taking out student loans for. Overall not a good investment for African Americans and 1st generation college students. Your achievement gap will be wide due to you being an expensive quota just to get you there. If you have student loans on your financial aid package, run because its not a good ROI.Stacey Trotter

I am a current student and I dislike this school for many reasons. Campus is far too small, feels just like high school, majority of students are stuck up, arts department might as well be nonexistent… just to name a few.Shea Parker

I enjoyed my academic experience there. It wasn't terribly challenging or anything, but they offer a lot of interesting classes. I had a few really great professors that were very influential to me. And one thing I loved was the small classes (my gf had a 400 level class with 4 people in it once), and the fact that a lot of professors were very accessible outside of class. On the other hand, the student body was very one-dimensional. I constantly felt like I was meeting the same person over and over again. The large majority of people at Rhodes come from similar socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds as well as have similar interests, values, and goals. Campus social life primarily revolves around Greek life. They tout that everyone finds their niche at Rhodes, but what really happens is you usually learn how to fit into the "Rhodes" niche. If you don't find yourself fitting into the Rhodes niche, don't worry. There are other people who feel the same way you do, and by junior year small pockets of people will emerge outside the Rhodes bubble that you might enjoy integrating into. However, this is a very small number of people, and you'd more than likely have enjoyed yourself better at a school that was actually diverse. Don't underestimate how important diversity is before you go to college. Also the administration sucks and is useless.Aditya Biswas

There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss Rhodes College. The doors it opened and the opportunities I had to not only impact communities but be impacted by them will stick with me forever. Rhodes helped me to develop into an individual that values the humanness in everyone. It challenged me to look at the life that I am living and ask myself how I can utilize this life to help others find joy in their lives. I made some amazing friends! I still keep in contact with the administration and go to alumni events quite often. I graduated in '12 and, though I understand many of my peers had experiences where they felt like diversity was an issue, my experience was one of inclusiveness. I was able to mingle with all people and make friends across societal divisions. It was an absolutely amazing four years. My advice to prospective students is to reach out if you find that you need help. The support here is tremendous. I don't think I would have made it without Carol Casey, Dean Laakso, and Walt Tennyson! If I could go back I would. I really would.Jordan Gilmore

As an alumni from the class of '12, I admit I have a love-hate relationship with Rhodes. While I appreciate the wonderful professors and people I have met, I am very disappointed with the Rhodes administration. Rhodes simply does not take diversity seriously. Racial / socio-economic / & sexual orientation discrimination is rampant on campus, yet Rhodes fails to properly address the problems. Amazing and life altering professors are never recognized or granted tenure. And no reason is given (ex: Banerjee, Johnson, etc) Although I am truly thankful for my experiences at Rhodes and the doors it opened, I will never support Rhodes again until action is taken to make Rhodes a true liberal arts college that welcomes and embraces diversity. Emails sent to administration remain unanswered. Prospective students, BEWARE, it's probably best to keep looking if you're a minority!David Siu

Great teachers, and every resource you could need to succeed in business school. Great preparation for the business world.Adam Maund

I'm a student attending the school right now, but let me tell you how great of a school this is. I love it so much that I made a list. 1. Funniest school I've ever been to. 2. Comfortable school environment. 3. Comfortable Uniforms. 4. Freedom but not too much. 5. It has 2 campuses within close range. 6. Supports k-12 7. Gym and auditorium aren't combined. 8. Band, Art, Spanish, Flag Girls, Majorettes, Cheerleaders, Computer Engineering, Stem, Robotics, Business, Personal Finance, and more! 9. Warm Faculty members. 10. All the friends you'll find. By the way if you think I'm not a student because of this great review then you're wrong.Tyrees Mosley

My kids went to MBA for one year and one year only. The middle school is great but some of the high school staff is very unprofessional💯 This school yet still needs a lot of improvement, parents will do better sending their kid to a public high school instead.T. Gentri Conner

So far very good. They handle alot of kids. In a area that people don't want to handle or say is bad. So keep up the great work on teaching our kids the right way.Jonathan Elton

I’m going to this school for the first time I’m going to the sixth grade.And I’ve heard a lot of great reviews about this school! It makes me so excitedDrxppy. Cece

To me…its more than just a school, its my extended family! The entire faculty has my boys back, in education and moral/emotional support!Karla Parker

Bethel is a beautiful little campus where I go for my teaching licensure monitoring courses. I've only ever been here on Saturdays but it's in a beautiful setting and the professors in the college of education are wonderful to work with. I would recommend their program without hesitation as I feel that it is preparing me above and beyond the expectations of the department of education.Sean Stanhill

Completely incompetent admissions office. The staff refuses to answer phones, emails or voicemails. Unbelievable lack of professionalism for an institution of higher learning.sebastian rodriguez

I would like to put no stars for this school. THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL EVER. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE PARENTS IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD OR CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL. THE WORST STAFF AND ADMIN. I CAN SAY MORE, BUT YOU GET IT. THEY ARE UNORGANIZED. PERIOD…..Tisha Boyd

I do not recommend sending your child to this school. The teachers and the principal bullied my little cousin, and I wouldn’t want this happening to anyone else’s child. They are very unprofessional, messy, and unorganizedKelsey Rejeana

Love the school and I’m comfortable with leaving my child. It’s home away from home! Mrs. Shaw and her staff are excellent and I’m proud to be a parent of a student and grandkids that attend MBA!Marsha Moore
