VERDICT

Should I use Kenan-Flagler (LibGuides)?

Skip to Main Content - kenan-flagler.libguides.com

Depends. Low confidence: nearly all sources describe the MBA program, not this page, which is just the school's free library research site. Use it if you're a UNC Kenan-Flagler affiliate; skip it entirely if you're shopping for software.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~40 public sources; nearly all describe the MBA program, not the LibGuides page itself, hence low confidence.

Best for

  • UNC Kenan-Flagler students and faculty
  • MBA applicants researching the school
  • Business research via library guides

Not for

  • Software buyers — this is a school library site, not a tool
  • Non-UNC users needing database access (likely login-gated)
  • Anyone comparing CRMs or work tools
  • Teams wanting a purchasable product with support

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

If you're really evaluating the MBA: ~$52K/yr; online format debated at ~$125K.

medium

Guess: library databases typically require UNC login; access likely ends at graduation.

low

Nothing to buy: no tiers, trials, or vendor. Evaluating it as software is a category error.

low

Brand prestige is actively debated among applicants on r/MBA.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free, curated business research guides maintained by the school's library
  • School publishes IT policies and security best practices openly
  • Admissions provides application feedback to unsuccessful candidates
  • Well-covered MBA program with 15 student reviews on GMAT Club

Cons

  • Not a product: no pricing, vendor, support, or tiers to evaluate
  • Security subpage appears broken, returning 'The requested page' error
  • Online MBA cost (~$125K) draws backlash on r/MBA
  • Some students report early dissatisfaction with the program
