5 years ago I decided it was time to finally finish my undergraduate degree. After doing minimal research I narrowed my search to the University of Pittsburgh and Robert Morris University. I chose RMU after speaking to the admissions officer and believing that this was the school for working professionals that did not fit the mold of a typical undergraduate student.

Over the last 5 years I have repeatedly been dissapointed everytime a new semester will begin and I view the available classes. It is very common to find 3 or 4 classes that I would like to take all offered on Thursday night causing me to choose one class a semester and extending my undergraduate career. I have asked several times to work with a professor on a work study but I am always turned down even though I have a 3.5 and work in my field of study.

With all of that being said I have talked to several students who are very happy. They are students who are majoring in management...either OB or General Management. They are students who don't have specific classes they would like to take as electives and will take sports management or casino/gaming management for an easy A. If you are in a position where you need an MBA to further your career but don't care what the classes are that you have to take in order to get it RMU is for you and you will probably enjoy your time there.

If you are a student interestd in furthering your education and building a resume with a meaningful class load in order to gain acceptance to a good grad school or advanced entry level position I would suggest going to another school.
