STUDENT COMMENTS
Overall, I feel that it is a very good program with great professors. The only problem is that the coursework is far too easy. I will be graduating with higher than a 3.4 GPA and will be starting a full-time job in the business world as soon as I graduate. Unfortunately, I do not feel very prepared for the position because I never had to work hard or make any extra effort to get good grades..
Cornell offers a wonderful experience to undergraduate students, prepares them very well for their careers, and manages to place them in excellent positions their first year out of college. As an alumnus, I will definitely be donating to Cornell quite frequently for all that it has done for me.
The AEM program at Cornell is a fabulous all-around business program. However, I feel like they put a great deal of emphasis on finance and marketing. I would have liked to see some more advanced 300 and 400 level accounting classes offered to undergraduates so we really got a comprehensive business education.
The Cornell AEM program is working to climb up the ranks of undergraduate business school programs. With new initiatives ranging from branding to increasing the quality of classroom experiences, the AEM program is getting very competitive to get into. But the wonderful thing is the range of courses you can take outside the business program. Students can either focus on a specific concentration or take advantage of Cornell's other thousand courses that trace right back to Ezra Cornell's mission of "Any person, any study."
AEM is the Cornell secret. Once people are on campus, they are inching to transfer into AEM. While the program only accepts around 17% of applicants and starts with 100 freshmen, there are about 200 that graduate with the degree. It's practical and applied. AEM needs a real name. The "blank" school. Then we will rise to the top because we will be recognizable. For now, it's the perfect size, and I love our little kept secret.
The Undergraduate Business Program at Cornell University has been a phenomenal experience for me, and as a recently accredited undergraduate business program, it is only going to get better. Every aspect of this program has surpassed my expectations.
Career development office is outstanding.
I have accepted an offer with a top 10 firm for sales and trading. I could not have gotten where I am without the knowledge and guidance Cornell has given me. I owe very much to this university.
Cornell has a very well-rounded business program, which offers a diverse range of classes taught by excellent faculty members. All in all, the program is easily one of the best in the country.
Made the students look beyond the conventional and make an effort to develop themselves effectively.
Surpassed my expectations. Learned more than I ever thought I would and prepared me well for the environment I will face once employed.
It does not seem possible for an undergraduate business program to be accredited without the existence of an accounting program. It is very unfortunate that after four years of an Ivy League and an accredited business program, a student is expected to pay extra to complete classes for the CPA exam that other schools, even without accreditation, readily have available.
