In the full‑time MBA program, I teach the first‑year core course in managerial statistics. We meet twice a week throughout the semester, and the pace is fast from the start.

The workload is intentionally tough: two midterms, a comprehensive final, an individual project, a group project, and frequent pop‑up quizzes to keep everyone on their toes. It’s widely known as a “weed‑out” course, and the attrition rate shows why.

The course is demanding for a purpose. Students quickly learn that statistics isn’t just formulas - it’s about building analytical discipline and a problem‑solving mindset they’ll use throughout their careers. Those who finish the course come out stronger and more confident.

I’m genuinely proud of every MBA student who has taken on the challenge and succeeded. (Are you one of them?)

In the professional MBA program, we meet once a week for a three‑hour evening class throughout the semester. Most students are working professionals with several years of experience under their belts.

A good number of them are engineers from nearby chemical plants, and they bring a level of analytical strength that really shows in the classroom. Even after a full day of work, they show up ready to engage, ask sharp questions, and tackle challenging material.

I hold the professional MBA students to the same academic standards as those in the full‑time program, and they rise to the challenge remarkably well. Their discipline, maturity, and real‑world experience give them an edge, and it shows in their performance.

Semester after semester, most of them complete the course with flying colors, and it’s a pleasure to watch them excel.

In the executive MBA program, we meet every other week — Friday afternoons and then a full day on Saturday. It’s an intense schedule, but it fits the lives of the people in the classroom.

Most of them are high‑level corporate executives who come in with years of leadership experience, strong motivation, and a deep commitment to learning. Even after long workweeks, they show up ready to engage, contribute, and push themselves.

What stands out most about teaching executives is their attitude. They work hard, they take the material seriously, and they bring real‑world insight into every discussion.

And nothing makes me happier than running into a former MBA student who says, “Dr. Chun! That was a tough class, but I learned a lot.” Hearing that reminds me why I teach — it absolutely makes my day!

The online MBA program brings together students from all over the country, each with a wide range of backgrounds and work experiences.

Even though we never meet face‑to‑face, we build rapport quickly through self‑introductions, discussion boards, and steady email communication. The seven‑week module moves at a fast pace, and it can feel intense, especially for students balancing full‑time jobs, family responsibilities, and coursework all at once.

What impresses me most is how hard these students work to keep everything in balance. Their dedication shows in every assignment and every message they send.

It’s a genuine joy to encounter exceptionally bright students or those who have overcome incredible obstacles in life. Their resilience and determination make teaching in the online program deeply rewarding.
