Current Graduate Student Resources

1.    How are MBA/MSBA Courses delivered?    A mix of synchronous and asynchronous designs using Zoom or Microsoft Teams platforms.  
2.    Do I need to come to UWRF Campus to participate in the programs?  No, the MBA/MSBA Programs are 100 percent online and available to students regardless of their location.
3.    Do I need to log in to a course at certain times?  For the synchronous class session, you will need to join the Zoom or Microsoft Teams session.  The faculty member sends the class an invitation with the link for joining the meeting.
4.    Do I need to purchase additional material?  Undergraduate textbooks are provided through the UWRF Textbook Services.  Class fees cover other material if required, for example, simulations or design material.   MBA/MSBA students may need to purchase books, cases, articles, or pay a simulation fee.  

1.    Is advanced preparation for course engagement required?  Yes.  Courses are delivered in an 8-week format and faculty require work before the start of the 8-week session.  It is important to plan for advanced preparation for synchronous class sessions.  Your faculty member will share their expectations with the class.
2.    What are the expectations for engaging in the synchronous class session?  We want to have professional and collaborative learning experiences.  To support this, we expect you to join the synchronous schedules and actively participate.  During synchronous sessions, you should have your camera on [unless instructed otherwise] and microphone muted – unless you are speaking.  Be sure to look into your camera as this helps with ‘eye contact.’  Have other devices off to help remove distractions.  We want to foster topic exploration and debate so, be ready to disagree but not be disagreeable!
3.    Are there expectations for my learning space?  Yes, we recommend that you have a dedicated space for participating in the synchronous class sessions.  This should be comfortable, provide ample space for technology and class material, and limit distractions.  Be sure to use the common background that you are provided.  We recommend business casual dress.  

1.    How will I be able to interact with faculty and others in the program?  There is a mix of engagement opportunities: one-on-one meetings with the faculty, team projects with others in your classes, research opportunities with faculty, semester 'chats' with classmates, and opportunities to participate in extra-curricular competitions.
2.    Will I have the opportunity to network with people outside of UWRF?  While it varies by class, you will have opportunities to interact with professional guest speakers, complete internships, and develop projects with regional organizations.
