STUDENT COMMENTS
Baylor has a excellent group of professors in the Hankamer Business School. The student-to-teacher ratio is excellent, and most professors have had a lot of experience in their fields. When discussing business schools with friends attending other universities, I truly feel lucky to have attended such a great business program that is truly interested in my growth as business professional and wants to see me succeed.
The real value of a BBA from Baylor is the hands-on teaching style. Very few of my classes have had more than 30 students. Most classes have about 20 students. The result is having professors who know and are involved with the student. I am willing to bet Baylor is one of the few schools where professors are comfortable putting their home and cell-phone numbers on their syllabus.
Baylor University is an amazing university with a great faculty and staff. Although the tuition is rather high, the experience and the educational opportunities you receive I think are much higher than most people think. The quality of the teaching, size of the classes, and faculty availability help to provide one of the best college experiences out there.
I feel very prepared and equipped to enter the job market upon graduation.
Our undergraduate program in the business school throws you into the world of business as you know it from the moment you are a freshman. Bus 1301—a course that gives you a business project to complete with a team of students and then must be presented at an expo for business professionals—helped me a lot. I also was helped a lot by our Business Law course. The professors for that course are all Texas Bar Assn. certified attorneys that either are still practicing or have decided to teach instead.
I found the business school teachers to be amazing people. I even had a professor that invited all of his students to his Thanksgiving dinner with his family. They are all very caring individuals who want nothing more than to see you learn the information they teach so we can apply it to our future profession. My adviser was terrific! She helped me for three years and was very prompt at answering all of my questions.
I don't believe that the business program and classes have developed my ability to compete in the job market. They taught the necessary material to know what the job market will be like. The necessary knowledge was there, but the extra knowledge to get ahead did not come from classes. I developed them through people who never attended college or attended very little college. The business school and other school classes do not teach you to think outside the box. Therefore, it seems like a job in an industry is all that there is in the world.
Accounting is by far the best undergrad and grad program in the business school at Baylor.
The professors at Baylor are outstanding, and I would stack them up against any professors at any other university. They are always available, treat students with incredible respect, and are usually willing to discuss topics not directly related to their courses.
In all my business core and major courses I had some kind of team-building project and individual projects that involved students to present material to the class. My business classes teach the material and then have projects or exercises to relate the material to real world examples.
I feel that I am very prepared to enter the business world. I also feel that I have had many experiences during my college career that I would not have had if I had attended any other university.
Even though Baylor University is on the higher end for price, the quality of education, my professor’s willingness to help me learn, and the smaller classes make it worth the extra dollars. I am considering Baylor's MBA program because of the different degrees that I can work towards. I know that the faculty care about how much I am learning and make every effort to explain topics in ways that are conducive to many students' various learning abilities. The undergraduate program has helped to prepare me to get a job once I graduate.
I think that the book knowledge that I have learned is very helpful. But at the same time, I wish they taught us about the practical side of business in our everyday lives, such as what to look for in insurance policies, what is really the deal with 401(k)s, etc.
The sights of the business school at Baylor are too small, and as a Christian university, I believe that Baylor should have their sights on something bigger than just attaining a job.
I have a job with a salary of 55,000, plus 10% yearly bonus and stock options. Enough said.
The classes were small, professors were smart and always available, and the majority of students were intelligent. Social life was terrible, and students need to be more in touch with reality, and get outside the "Baylor Bubble."
Would not have gone anywhere else.
I joined a technology startup company this past July with a couple other Baylor students and the reason I feel prepared to go into something like this is because Baylor's Hankamer School of Business has prepared me well.
Numerous teachers seem to have gone above and beyond their duty to teach. To do this they have taken extra care to make teaching practical (not just vague concepts), and explicitly addressed many of the problems and tasks that we as students will face in the soon future. Nearly all of them have made themselves very available and are willing to form personal, lasting relationships. They have engaged me in a personal relationship that allows me to grow much better in the classroom. Many have been genuinely concerned not just for my academic success, but even more for my well-being as a person.
