| Would Recommend? | yes | Yes, I would recommend Coppin to others wishing to pursue a management degree. I have recommended others to Coppin in pursuit of other degrees as well.

As far as I know there are students still enrolled in the program and a majority of graduates go on to do amazing things upon completion of the program. I do know there are some great leaders who have completed the management program and are in public service in our state. |
| Program Quality | 10 | My school provided me with an excellent education that prepared me for my entry into the field of management. I feel the instructors and courses gave me with the necessary tools and knowledge to succeed in this field of study. |
| Instruction | More than 5 years ago | N/A |

| Hands-On vs. Bookish | This is the one quality that I loved about this university. We did not just go strictly by the book. There were projects and demonstrations to back up what we learned in the lectures. We participated in projects that required us to use our minds and hands. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | The class schedules were extremely flexible and the ability to completing was not overly difficult. The school offered other options if classes was not available, such as independent studies. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | I had no problem accessing any academic facilities at the school. These services were readily available for any student who wished to access them. Every individual, from the president of the school to the deans and professors, played a part in the success of each student's academic goals. There was always someone to give you a helping hand. They really thought of each student as an individual and not as a number. |
| Social Life | 10 | I attended some functions at the university when I wasn't working. There were plenty of activities going on that every student could take part in. |
| Placement Services | 1 | When I graduated 17 years ago, the job placement and career services were not much help in finding jobs for students. I believe the job placement rate has increased since my attendance, however. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | The school's alumni give a lot of support to the school. Even today the alumni is active in assisting the school in fundraisers and in promoting progress the success of the students. |
