Student Experience

As an iMSM student, you’ll learn from and engage with senior faculty at Gies College of Business. The Gies Business faculty team has crafted a student experience that thoughtfully takes advantage of the iMSM’s online setting.

Lectures and video material better suited for independent learning are delivered through asynchronous courses (Coursera MOOCs). This allows valuable discussion time in live class sessions, often used for lectures in traditional business programs, to be preserved for students to truly engage with senior-level faculty.

Gies’ online classrooms are collaborative spaces that encourage side conversations – creative, innovative thinking – and strong relationships built between students and faculty alike. You’ll also get to know your classmates by working on team projects.
