Student Experience

What’s it like to earn your iMBA degree while learning on Coursera?

The iMBA program is fully developed by Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and leverages Coursera’s online education platform to help deliver curriculum. This allows iMBA students to benefit from Coursera features such as interactive video transcription, in-course note taking, and seamless learning across multiple devices. As a student, you can attend live classroom sessions with professors, work together on group projects, and connect with instructors during live office hours on the Illinois platform. 

You’ll feel the iMBA program's commitment to the student experience and positive engagement during your time as a student. You will have many opportunities to connect with students, staff, and faculty. At optional in-person experiences, you can meet  and network with classmates. You can also connect with current faculty and discuss the curriculum outside of the classroom. Whether related to coursework, professional development, or for purely social reasons, these experiences can enrich your MBA experience immensely.
