STUDENT COMMENTS
As a member of the Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUS program within the UC College of Business, I've had an extraordinary opportunity to participate not only in what the CoB has to offer but I've also had exemplary advisers, professors, and courses at my fingertips. This is a specialty honors business program that has far exceeded anything available at the other universities I considered.
Honors-PLUS program within the college of business is outstanding. Honors-PLUS is a 25-student (per grade) program that looks to increase leadership and place students in great jobs after graduation. The program has only been around for eight years, but has had excellent success.
The education that I have received is, by far, more than I have expected to get. I feel that the quality of professors at UC are extraordinary. Every one of my professors in the last two years has had previous work experience in the field that they are teaching. This helps them to explain to students the relevance of what they are teaching.
The Lindner Honors-PLUS Business Program is what attracted me to the University of Cincinnati. It's an outstanding program designed for highly motivated business students and gives them opportunities not seen in other universities, such as internship and co-op work experience, an international trip to learn about the global market with company visits, and a professional network in the business world. Graduating from this program will give me an advantage in the professional world.
The University of Cincinnati's real estate program is the reason why I chose to attend its business college. I feel that UC has prepared me to enter into any aspect of the real estate market with enough knowledge to succeed. It is a well-rounded, worthy program for anyone wishing to get started or further their knowledge of commercial and residential real estate.
My undergraduate program provided me with a well-rounded college education. It encompassed a solid analytical background while providing a strong core in business management. The overall educational experience was enhanced due the opportunity to obtain a year-and-a-half work experience through the co-op program, leading to phenomenal career opportunities.
Through my campus involvement as well as the Lindner Honors-PLUS program, I have created a vast web, which I am currently utilizing as I search for job placement and/or graduate school admission.
It is a highly underrated program that has grown by leaps and bounds just in the four years I have been attending. The opportunity and potential at the College of Business is outstanding. That, paired with the outstanding faculty, makes this program a winner.
The college experience and preparation for the real world is only limited by your campus if you let it. I feel that my own ambition with and without the help of the university ultimately led to successful connections and experiences.
The College of Business at the University of Cincinnati has done an outstanding job in creating different tiers of programs to meet the different needs of business students to accomplish their goals.
There is the Honors-Plus Program, for highly motivated individuals with superior academic ability and demonstrated leadership skills; the Business Scholars Program for outstanding business students, fueling their academic, professional, and personal success; the BBA-Extend Program for students holding an associate's degree in business administration or its equivalent; and other programs to meet the needs of all business students.
It has been an outstanding experience. I feel UC has done an excellent job of combining classroom learning with real world experience. By the time I graduate I will have studied abroad, interned abroad, had two years of co-op experience, and about 150 hours of community service.
The College of Business does not communicate scholarship opportunities to its students very well. I am in the co-op program (working full-time) and have missed several deadlines for scholarships that I qualified for. Sending an e-mail would be sufficient.
The Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUS Business Program is a diamond in the rough and is making a name for itself locally, nationally, and internationally. The positives of this program are too many to write down in the short amount of time that I have. I highly recommend it based on what it has done for me: five internships with Credit Suisse in NYC; one internship with Credit Suisse in London; the yearly junior class trip of 25 students to Europe (and now Asia).
From an academic perspective, it has been an outstanding experience. However, I feel as though we do not have much guidance when searching for full-time employment upon graduation.
UC is a good college if you are a student out of high school. They offer a variety of programs that encourage the students to excel. However, for a mature adult who has been in the working enviroment and in the world, the programs here border on tedious. They do not allow for outside education or experience to be reflected in needed coursework.
My expectations from UC were extremely low. I transferred from a very prestigious university because UC offered me a full ride and I couldn't afford $35K/semester. I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the poor quality of the teachers and students. Apathy seemed the dominant force on campus, with teachers cancelling projects and classes because they were "too much work."
I think the college of business did an outstanding job. Our university career center, on the other hand, is completely disgraceful. They don't even know the basics of résumé writing or how to approach a company.
I do not like being taught by someone who does not speak English very well. In half of my Intermediate Accounting classes I had to teach myself because I was not able to understand the professors.
The UC College of Business has a special program called the Carl H. Lindner Honors PLUS program, which provides students accepted into it with guaranteed small classes (25), their own academic adviser, full scholarship, an international trip, placement in an internship their freshman year, mandatory co-op (so that you graduate with almost 2 years of full-time experience), participation in the Leadership Cincinnati Seminars, additional classes to expand our skill sets (such as business ethics, etiquette, and opportunities to do field study course which allow you to work on real problems for real companies).
