STUDENT COMMENTS
The career center is amazing. I get personal e-mails from the career center at least once a week alerting me about campus interviews, info sessions, and career expos that pertain to me.
I think that the University of Miami is a good institution that deserves more credit than it receives. I think that Wall Street especially needs to take a strong look at the University of Miami.
The deans of the business school and extremely responsive and always willing to meet to discuss anything, including the future of the business school.
As at many universities, a student's first two years are filled with general education, which seems almost useless and monotonous. The University of Miami lessens this blow by requiring some lower-level business courses at those stages. They also give each business student a mentor to aid them in all aspects of college life. I believe this was very beneficial to me as I had many questions answered before the start of college, and felt that I was ahead of the game.
The University of Miami creates a great learning environment for its business students and constantly seeks to improve its faculty credentials and facilities in an effort to gain a competitive edge. UM has been a great experience, and I would highly recommend its business program to anyone seeking an edge in the business world.
I very much like the fact that advising for business students is done by our own advisers who know our program and who do that full time, as compared to the rest of the advisers around campus, who are also professors. It helps to have someone to go to at any time that knows exactly what you need.
The University of Miami is located in the hot spot of USA. The diversity that that school brings to you is unbelievable. Being an international student, it makes me feel more at home. There are quite a few extracurricular activities, but they are not promoted to the international students and even less to the commuters. There has to be some type of awareness. Also the Career Center has given me bad information on how to improve my résumé.
I believe there are many classes that the University makes you take that are not necessary for the students.
Our Career Services are not good. I have basically used my sister as a career guide because she knows what it takes to get into companies. You are not going to find a job through career services just by signing up because there is too much competition and all the positions have most likely been given to Ivy League students. UM is the bottom-feeder of the pack.
University of Miami has an outstanding program. It has provided me with what I consider a perfect college experience. From academics, to extracurricular activities, to social elements, the administration, everything has provided me with the materials I need to be not only monetarily successful, but it has also developed my character. I would highly recommend the Business School at University of Miami to any one considering it.
The business program at the University of Miami has surpassed all of my expectations. The program as a whole is very tight-knit and effectively challenges each and every student. At the same time, the faculty are commited to bringing the real-world experience into the classroom and are dedicated to sharing their plethora of knowledge and expertise. The diversity within the program is a tremendous asset in providing a global perspective, and the alumni contributions on many levels promote education and research.
Whenever the University is faced with an open position for essential business classes (accounting, information systems) the department heads often resort to underqualified professors in an attempt to fill the slot. I found this to be common practice, and often received substandard instruction in classes that I feel would have otherwise been essential and informative.
It was very good and I feel pretty prepared to go out into the job market. The only thing I wish was put in place was a requirement for a business internship in my program. I knew many people who just got simple jobs on campus because they couldn't find a particular job related to their major. Many of us compete for the same internships, so it's sometimes hard. If the school required and placed each student within an internship program for at least one semester, it would have been beneficial.
I think the University should develop a program to better help lower-level students pick a major. Also, I feel that UM faculty members should do a better job of understanding students and finding a better way to communicate course material with them. The divide between students and faculty could be reduced tremendously, and I feel that this would be beneficial to all parties involved.
