STUDENT COMMENTS
Our dean's office is extremely supportive of students.They are almost always available for questions and concerns. Our Experiential Learning Coordinator ("the internship guy") does an amazing job helping you find an internship with a company or industry that fits your career goals (or at least your current major).
I feel like there are other business schools who connect students to job placement more efficiently. Here it is very much driven on connections with the financial markets.
I work full-time as a sales manager and sales rep for Vector Marketing/Cutco Cutlery, and I'm going to open my own district office as soon as I finish the spring semester. I've learned more from my experience there than I ever learned in any of my classes, and I think my work experience is a much bigger asset than my education. I was a transfer student to Loyola, and they don't treat transfer students well at all. I am highly dissatisfied with my experience at this school.
The only problem with Loyola's campus recruiting is the lack of diversity among the firms. There are not that many corporations from New York City, for example, that come to interview at Loyola.
Loyola does a great job of preparing well-rounded business students. We are not only extremely well-informed about our own specialization but we also benefit from a sound understanding of all aspects of the business school.
Loyola's business school is great. The professors are extremely helpful to all students in and out of class. The small classes enable interactive learning for all students.
As a transfer student from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, I was astounded by the caliber of students here more than anything else. It has far exceeded my expectations in fairness, value, and educational quality.
No prominent finance or other business firms recruit for front-office positions. Many of my contacts were made on my own through hard work.
I have interned at AIG global investment group and last summer I did a two-week program with Bank of America, both in Manhattan. I was surrounded by students from Wharton, Boston College, and Yale, to name a few. I feel that Loyola College prepared me just as well as these other students were prepared. The fact that I was offered jobs at these places, likely over some of these Ivy League students, should speak highly for Sellenger Business School, especially because I am not even one of the stronger students at Loyola.
Overall, the program was good. I think some major programs within the business school are better than others. While I may be biased because I am an accounting major I think that the accounting program is a lot better than the finance program, which is the biggest at Loyola. If you take into account the level of difficulty of classes, class size, personal attention of teachers, it is not even close.
I didn't come to Loyola as a business student, but I'm certainly glad that I decided to major in International Business here. It's a very challenging, yet rewarding experience.
