STUDENT COMMENTS
"I always feel confident that our professors are on top of the business trends and keeping our learning up-to-date.
My knowledge of technology, for instance, has tripled since I began college.
I have learned to use programs already economics grad students usually begin learning in their fifth year."
I really can't say enough good things about my business education, especially the business core. Being in the Business Honors Cohort also really augmented my experiences as well.
Miami does an excellent job of preparing its business students to be competitive in the job market and in our careers for years to come.
"Simply put, I love Miami.
I feel like the business school gets us very prepared for the real world in many ways. They try to toughen us up and make sure we are ready to work hard. I talk to kids from other schools who seem to come out of their universities with stars in there eyes, thinking they will change the world. Miami prepares you to do your job right, good, and keep your boss happy.
The school also does a great job of getting companies to come to our school to recruit. I'm going to law school and I've still gotten over 5 invitations to interview with companies. The proffessors are also great. They are very intelligent people who push you to do well, give you very challenging tests, and are ALWAYS available if you need help, questions, or just advice. Most professors give you their home and cell numbers and tell you to call at any time. Not only are they good at their jobs, but usually they are really interesting people. I wouldn't mind having lunch with the majority of them.
The other part of the business school that is great are my classmates. Everyone I meet seems to always have a secret or special talent which makes them an amazing person. Either they were class president, all-state wide receiver on the football team, or 1 of seven members of a nationally renowned acapella group my classmates never cease to amaze me and challenge me to excel."
I will be able to get a job paying more than I expected and with more future opportunites than I expected at the beginning of my Senior year especially because of Miami's great connection with its alumni.
The office of career services has done an outstanding job of providing me with the opportunity to obtain a full time position with different corporations and as a result I have obtained a full time position at one of the top companies in my first semester of my senior year.
When looking at colleges it often easy to overlook a public school experience such as Miami University. In my opinion, any student would be lucky to attend Miami University and be a part of the Richard T. Farmer School of Business. The classes are not for everyone. They involve hard work, dedication and a develop process of thinking. Most of the classes do not go straight from a text book. The reason this business school is so difficult is because professors force their students to think outside of the box rather than memorize text book definitions. Also, there is no grade inflation at this business school. I've heard from students at Harvard that many of their grades are inflated because the school wants to represent a 100% graduate school acceptance. More than anything, Miami focuses on the QUALITY of education. I graduate in May 2007 and I am dreading the day that I am forced to leave the amazing University and beautiful campus.
"I have felt that this school is not respected in some of the job interviews that I have been involved in. While some companies certainly understand this school, others seem to just respect the Ivy League and other top quality brand name schools. I certainly know that my undergraduate education here has been rigorous and the 3.94 I have earned is harder to earn here than at Ivy league schools. This has been a factor in the job search though.
The Business Honors Program has been a great experience. There are several students in this program, about 25-40 in each class. We have had the opportunity to work in teams throughout our undergraduate experience to better improve the quality of our presentations and learning. This group of students is typically motivated and we recently completed our senior business plan capstone that was challenging and captivating."
"I feel that our business school has an excellent reputation with employers, which is one of its strongest selling points.
A recent focus of our business school has been recruiting talented faculty, which sometimes comes at the expense of the student as they are not as talented at teaching the material as they were at performing what they teach. This is what makes a teacher which can do both, such as Dan Wiegand, such an asset to the business school.
"
The honors program as well as my experience with Pi Sigma Epsilon have given my an experience that I do not believe can be equaled by any undergraduate business program. Both of these opprotunities have allowed me to work in the business world with companies as an undergraduate and have made my knowledge of the busness far superior to my counterparts. In addition, the mix of case and general instruction makes the teaching environment well rounded.
I think the classes are tough but fair. I am honored to be in the presence of my fellow peers and professors and am constantly challenged. I have learned to find my strong points and make them standout so I can even the playing field when it comes to the pending job market I am currently facing.
I am not planning on entering into the business world, I am planning on attending law school.
The business school is great and the focus on teachers meeting with students more than doing research is essential to their success and educators. However, every now and then I would get a really poor professor.
This past summer during my internship at a large multinational corporation I realized first hand how well the business school prepared me to compete. Compared to other interns, ranging from MBA candidates to undergraduates, I felt like I had the upper hand and the ability to contribute immediate business results. Though the other interns degrees may have been coming from more prestigious east coast universities, I knew at that point that my degree enabled me to compete against anyone.
As a memebr of the Honors Business Program, I have recieved numerous opportunites to build my skills and develop my emotional intelligence as a leader. I am surround by high caliber students in my honors classes, who function as effective and succesful team members. The prfessors for such classes are dedicated to higher levels of thinking.
I think that the intro-level classes did a fairly good job of giving us a broad overview of the entire business program. I think Business Writing should be a required class, because many people don't know how to communicate effectively through writing. Also, business ethics would be a good class to offer. I felt that some classes weren't consistent among professors--for example, I might have a sub-par professor whereas my roommate has an excellent professor, and he learns more in the 'same' class. Other than that, Miami's program did a good job getting me ready for the real world, even if I didn't take advantage of it.
Miami has done a great job understanding what the student needs to be successful outside of our "bubble" here in Oxford.
Miami is a widely-recognized, prestigous name in the Mid-West. I had an internship in Washington D.C. that I found on my own in investment banking. I would like to return to that area or venture to the west coast for post graduation plans, but am frustated in only finding interested businesses in Cincinnati or Chicago. Also, we are highly recruited by the "Big Four" accounting firms, but not by a lot of investment banking firms.
Great school, better teaches are definitely in junior and senior level major classes. The introductory business class professors were poor but the chairs, and advanced professors were great, especially in accounting.
The Richard T. Farmer Business School of Miami University is a rising star in undergraduate programs. In my personal experience, I have never been taught by less than a tenured professor in any business course. As a senior, I can only count 1 business class that I would consider a "lecture". The amount of individual attention at Miami is outstanding.
Miami's Career Services are top notch. They attract top level employers from a variety of fields.
The B-School has provided me with a great background; I am very impressed with the quality of instruction. As someone who was unsure of their major when they first began attending Miami University, I am more than satisfied with my decision to enter the B-School. I received excellent instruction in Accounting- which is no surprise. As a Finance major, I am relatively pleased with the courses and material. Miami has been very active in revamping their Finance classes to better prepare us, and I believed I have reaped those rewards. The only disappointing is thing is the job placement for Finance majors is not that great. Banking jobs, especially in the most competitive job markets such as I-banking, are very difficult to come by. I wish their would be a better effort to seek out these banks and develop relationships with them. If we want to be in the top echelon of B-Schools, I believe we must place people in those high profile jobs. I understand that the recruiting is a two way street and those banks would much prefer Ivy League candidates, but we must begin making developing those relationships. Overall I am very pleased with our B-School- I would recommend to everyone.
miami has provided me with a wonderful all around experience. would not have wanted to or wished I had gone anywhere else. perfect size, town, and students are serious about studying but also have a good time. balance time well
"The Farmer School of Business has outstanding international study opportunities. Several summer programs send students and faculty to every corner of the globe to study, explore, and connect with foreign business leaders.
The School also offers a challenging program during the summer for all non-business majors, giving them an edge through basic business knowledge."
My undergraduate experience has been one that I will always remember. I have enjoyed multiple aspects about it. My professors have always taken time to provide extra help outside of the classroom. Professor continue to care how you are doing after the class is finished and offer any further assistance if you need it down the road. Professors were very willing to provide references on my resume too. I have enjoyed my business school and feel that it has a very positive reputation among employers. I will always be thankful for the personal development it has provided for me.
I am a business honors student and my participation in the program has left a very favorable impression on me. I think non-honors students have a different perspective though.
Business courses are outstanding
I have been very satisfied with the quality of instruction at Miami. I have had wonderful professors who know their subject matter very well. I feel that I am able to compete with graduates from much more prestigious business schools. However, I do feel that Miami graduates do have a tougher time landing great jobs that are too far from Oxford. One can get great jobs in Cincinnati, Colombus, and even Chicago upon graduation. However, ther connections aren't well-established for students to get jobs in Boston, New York, or the west coast. For example, for a Miami graduate to be hired by a top investment bank right out of college is very rare. I think this is more a matter of connections and reputation than of quality of instruction.
Miami was orininally my "safety" school and I ended up defaulting to it after I felt that I didn't quite fit in the other schools I was accpeted to. Now as a senior, I look back at that decision as the best choice I ever made. This school has prepared me so well for my future and given me opportunities I never would have had elsewhere. I find it hard to believe that an ivy league could have done a better job! I am contantly challenged by my professors and peers (espicially as part of the business honors program) and am proud of the work I've accomplished at Miami, both inside the classroom and through extracirriculars.
Transfering to Miami University after graduating from a community college was the best move I have ever made. The professors stress the importance of communication and teamwork in the corporate world, and give numerous you opportunities to imporove in these areas.
Although this case does not pertain to me, i feel it is worth addressing because it pertains to the future of the business school. I believe that Miami is placing too many restrictions on students that truly want to learn about business, but do not have exemplary marks. i know a few students that have had to transfer to different schools after attending miami for 2 yrs. soley because they could not get into the business school. in my opinion, this should never happen and i feel that the fear of not getting into the business school discourages many students from trying (especially if it is a financial nessecity that they graduate in four years). It seems to me that it is the job of the university's admission committee to deem which students eligable and able to graduate from Miami. placing a 3.0 gpa requirement for admittance into the school of business seems a bit too harsh, givent that the average gpa of many majors in the school is below a 3.0 (i.e.-Business Economics average gpa is something like a 2.4)
I've always wanted to attend Miami ever since I was a little girl. It just has this reputation for being such a great school. Plus, it's only 20 miles away from where I live so it's really convenient. I feel really fortunate that I have had the opportunity to go to such a prestigious school.
Miami does a great job of job placement. If seniors are looking for jobs, they can graduate with one using the Miami Career Placement Center.
Career Services needs to bring schools more schools that recruit in Chicago and outside Ohio where a lot of students move to. Career Services brings a lot of great companies but far too many of the positions are in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Many students are from out of state or would like to move to a new and bigger city upon graduation.
Miami University has a very competitive business school. In other words, the students here always are comparing themeselves to each other. This competitiveness has pushed me to success in my four years at Miami.
I am always pleasantly suprised at how well known and respected Miami is as business school. I am proud to say that I attend Miami and that I will be graduating from the Richard T. Farmer School of Business!
MIAMI ROCKS!!
I came to Miami in the Mechanical Engineering program but ended up in the business program. I am very happy with my decision. I learn practical knowledge every day.
In my opinion, Miami's Finance Program is far superior to any other program in the business school. I have learned so much, and I feel it truly has provided me with the tools I need to be successful in the business world.
I have noticed, especially in comparison to other undergraduate business schools in Ohio that my friends attend, that our career services program is one of the best. I have had my mind on an internship since my Freshman year, which can be attributed to all of the focus that not only career services, but also my professors put on it and the effect it would have on my future. As far as a job after college, I have had to turn down many interviews just 2 months into the process because I was overwhelmed with interest after attending our Career Fair in September. There were over 200 top companies there and it was set up very well. I feel very much supported by the University as to my future job and my current status as a student. What can I say --- I feel lucky to be a part of this great institution, but even luckier to be a part of the Richard T. Farmer School of Business.
I personally already have a job waiting when I graduate thanks to the good reputation Miami has with recruiters.
I am saddened that more competitive companies DO NOT come here to recruit for competitive positions. But, our dedicated faculty is going to great lengths to see that those companies do look to our school for recruitment. These companies I'm talking about include but are not limited to: Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Morningstar, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and the like.
The accounting program has a great reputation which definitely played a role in getting an internship. I received offers from all 4 of the Big Four firms and I don't feel that I could have had that opportunity at many other schools.
Throughout my internship, I realized how amazing my education has been compared to the knowledge of other students.
Miami University is everything that I could have hoped for in a university. I know that when I graduate from here, I am more than prepared for the real world. I feel that with the education I have here, companies are fighting to acquire students like me, not students fighting to get jobs.
It should be noted that I am going onto law school with a degree in finance. I think my finance training from Miami University's Richard T. Farmer School of Business will be invaluable to my career as a lawyer. In additiont to giving my a firm footing in financial and business principles, the school offers an outstanding Business Legal Studies program.
Many options are available to help find a job, but it seems like no effort is given towards placement in nonprofit company jobs.
Great internship out of Miami, but name recognition is amlmost zero west of Chicago and east of Cleveland
I feel that the accounting program has been excellent with several professors teaching case-based classes. I feel that I will be as technically prepared as most or all other students when I enter the field. Also, I did have two internships (with KPMG and Quest Software) but my school does not give academic merit for internships so I had to check no for that question.
I feel very prepared for the "real world" after spending 4 years at Miami University. Classes are challenging but professors are fair and I feel they have a true passion for their courses and want to produce the best students possible.
The professors that I have had for the most part have been wonderful. However, I know that there are bad professors teaching here. I've usually been able to find out which professors are good and sign up for their classes accordingly.
The Career Services Center on campus works very closely with the business school to provide many local and national firms at events like Mock Interview day and the career fair. They offer workshops all year on how to begin the job search, how to write a resume, how to write a cover letter, interviewing skills, etc. The business school often receives information regarding job opportunities fairly frequently and professors are a great source for possible job and internship openings.
Its been great and the business honors program has been a large part of way i have enjoyed my experience at Miami so much.
A little weak on the non-traditional student area. Such as flexible class times and different needs advising.
Richard T. Farmer School of Business integrates a great knowledge base, outstanding facilities, local business opportunities, and enthusiastic alumni and faculty to create well rounded experience that is suitable for aspiring business men and women from almost any kind of background.
Outstanding internship and job placement
The best thing I did on campus was join Pi Sigma Epsilon. The leadership opportunities and real world business skills I have learned working for P&G, Ford, Fifth Third Bank, USA TODAY, and the Petters Group have set me apart from nearly every other undergrad in the nation and at Miami University.
I feel that, especially since I entered Miami University, the business school program has established itself as a highly-reputable business school among the top in the nation. It fully deserves this reputation because of the measures that are taken by the faculty, staff, and administration to ensure the highest quality education for its students.
I think that there are a lot of opportunities for students to interact with business professionals by bringing in corporations to give presentations and by bringing in over 200 companies for our schools career fair. This is extremely beneficial to the students by putting us in a very good position to get a job offer months before graduation.
Had 4 internships, gotten them all on my own. When I was a Freshman I went to career services for help with an internship search, and they told me I was too young, and gave me pamphlets about being a summer camp counselor. Even though there are a lot of out of state students, all companies at career fair are from Ohio, or will only hire you to work in Ohio. All marketing majors are encouraged to get sales jobs, no true marketing positions are ever made available. If you want to work for a company not at career fair, the school will not assist your efforts. In addition, many companies have better positions available that they won't even offer to Miami grads, and many companies won't come here period (e.g. L'Oreal, et al.). Teachers are great and very knowledgeable, but have "dumbed" don't course concepts and work, and lowered expectations of students because students here are very affluent and have positions guaranteed in their parents firms or friends of family and most concerned with getting a degree as opposed to learning course material. The program has gotten better during my four years, but still has a lot of opportunities for improvement.
I believe that the Miami University School of Business is an outstanding academic model for how business programs should be modeled by higher education. The classes are all taught by industry professionals or qualified professors. The involvement of outside firms is noticeable in many programs (i.e. - the Big Four in the Accounting program, IT consulting firms in the MIS program, various banks in the Finance program). Team projects are emphasized excessively in all of my classes. Although students sometimes tire of these strenuous demands, Miami University business majors are prepared to deal with team dynamics upon graduation. Presentation skills are emphasized. There could be more emphasis on effective business writing, but the establishment of the Howe Writing Initiative is making progress in this area as well.
This school does not make it easy for an older adult coming to college for the first time to get their degree. Most business classes are only offered during the day time hours. Often classes are only offered where the student has to be here Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That is fine for a full time on campus student. It makes it very hard for a working adult to get their degree. It would be nice to see upper level classes offered later in the day or evenings and only once a week.
I wish the business school offered more majors.
Miami's business program is wonderful and Miami tries very hard to keep it that way. The only thing I find fault with is the additional charge they have decided to add this year. They are assessing an additional $25 per business credit hour. I think this is just too much and they should be able to provide the quality education for the same tuition as all the other programs, which is not cheap to begin with.
Career services brings in a lot of real estate and mortgage employers that dilute the overall quality of employers at Miami. I see these real estate and mortgage companies as scams because they opperate on commision and don't require college degrees.
The best part about the business school is the faculty. Not only does Miami have the brightest faculty, they also are real people. They care about their students and will interact with their students in more than an academic context, awknowledging that there is more to life than a job or a GPA.
Classes seem to be very challenging, one could consider most of the students here as "over-achievers" and try to get the most out of class that they can. Miami U busniess school creates students who want to get a good job and help future companies in their corporate strategies, as opposed to those people who are hired, and are there to simply pick up a pay check, in my opinion.
Miami sets the students up to succeed. It is the students job to leverage this set-up and work hard enough to learn more than the minimum expected to stand out for employers.
Miami does an excellent job preparing its business students for the job market. The one problem I have with the program is the lack of Investment Banks that recruit at Miami. More bulge bracket banks need to recruit here.
I am prepared for the future and have many career options and I credit Miami Univerity's business program.
The business school gives us opportunities to get a well-rounded understanding of business. The professors and administration try their best to provide good opportunities for the students to express themselves in leadership positions and vairous organizations. We have over 250 firms that visit our school to seek out the best students.
Miami University Business School makes enormous efforts to finds it's students jobs before graduation, which is something that many people I have spoken to from other universities seem to be very envious of.
This survey has made me think about all the areas Miami is involved in making students' lives easier and better, and it has made me realize how great of a job they do to make that happen. They really work hard and take all of these areas into account when looking at how to provide a total undergraduate experience.
I plan on attending law school next fall.
Miami's business school has surprised me quite a bit. I did not expect to have the opportunities that I have when I started school here. I currently have two different opportunities with two different firms that I was put in touch with by the business school. All of my peers in the business school that I talk to are all planning on being very successful in the next coming years and I have all the faith in the world that they will be so. Our office of career services caters very well to business students bringing in top firms from around the area and the country. Opportunities are not in short supply here and our job placement is extremely high. One of my favorite things is that if you come back in a few years after graduating Miami Career service center will still assist you in finding a job. Our professors here are very well integrated and networked in the business community and they all have immense experiences outside of teaching. They generally bring that experience into the classroom to create an excellent learning environment. I honestly cannot say enough about the experience that I have had here at Miami and the vast amount of opportunities is has and will continue to offer me.
Miami Business School maybe growing, but they still care either or not me, Ann Wiechart, is getting the education I need for the real business world. Whether that is having debates in class or giving presentations they challenge you to move and think outside of your comfort zone
Miami has provided a tremondous experience for me. It is one of the most beautiful campuses, has great food, offers great classes, and the faculty are very helpful to assist students in their job searches.
Miami University provides a well-rounded business experience, challenging the student body, as well as offering many services and support to aid the students in their goal towards graduation and post-graduation job searches.
I love this school and got an amazing education; I was in the school of architecture for 2 full years before transfering into the school of business, so I've seen two very different departments. Don't get me wrong here, what I learned in the Business School is extremely valuable and I feel very prepared for the work I will be doing, but thats not the strong memory that will dominate my college experience; The Miami environment is somthing more, its somthing that everyone I know at school is itching to get back to after time away.
Miami's business program is unbelievable.
Miami is a great school, some-what of a big school, but has a small school attitude...hard workers in and out of the classroom, competition within class rooms is clear....overall i would give miami an A as far as prepairing students for the next step in their lives....
The professors all care about their students and their success not only in the course, but in life. They take your concerns, questions and ideas very seriously and as a result many of the major level courses are student discussion led with activities provided by the professor to guide learning.
Because of my education at Miami University I have had two fantastic summer internships at a few of the most well known firms/companies in the USA and have studied abroad in Asia through the business school's Pacific Rim program (just one of many programs available!). Plus, I also am a member of the special Business Honors program which has made my experience at Miami absolutely amazing with plenty of unique projects and challenges. I also started off my Senior year with a full-time job offer and over a dozen offers to interview with other companies.
In my 4 years here at Miami, I have seen our business school drastically take a more active role in the students. My professors have personally sent out e-mails regarding different job opportunities and brought in speakers from a variety of work places.
need more marketing research jobs for on campus interviewing
With the exception of one finance professor, it seems in my opinion that all the work is self taught. All the parts for solving problems are not always given to us, only little bits and pieces here and there. I feel that some of the courses (Fin 301, Fin 302, etc.) just handed the students a plethora of data and said, "Solve this." Other students are at good at teaching themselves and their work is not affected by this "teaching method," but I for one would like better to learn more from examples by teachers.
I have been extremely satisfied with my experience in the Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University, particularly regarding the Honors Business Program which has really challenged me in many courses and experiences.
The career services department does a phenomenal job bringing companies to Miami University, but most of the companies are from the midwest and only a handful are from the east coast or west coast. Professors care a lot about the education they're giving students and most take the time to learn each and every student's name in each class. I've had a great experience in Miami's undergraduate business program.
Some of these questions don't really apply to me because I am a non traditional student. I have a full time position with a CPA firm and have only been taking a few classes at a time, so I'm not involved at all in the social aspect of the university. I do believe the business school is rigorous and produces quality candidates for positions in any size firm.
Miami University does an incredible job of bringing in companies from all over the country and in a variety of fields to give us the best opportunity possible to succeed. There were over 100 companies at our career fair and that does not even include the many other companies which bring in speakers, representatives to classes, and the companies that work with Laws hall and associates
The Miami University Business School is a hidden gem, and only recently has larger institutions begun to take notice. While Miami was ranked 17 in Business Week last year, it did not even break Top 50 in U.S. News and World Report, which is somewhat frustrating and calls into question their grading criteria. The courses offered in the business school are challenging, pertinent, and taught by high-quality enthusiastic instructors. It deserves more recognition similar to this past year. I received a terrific education and will graduate an extremely well rounded individual for the business world.
I feel that the business school at Miami is set up well because in your senior year all courses are brought together in a Capstone class. This helps not only to reveiw important concepts but also to provide a "ending" experience that helps to join together the pieces that you have learned throughout the other years in the business program. I also believe that the business school has increased their efforts in several areas since I entered the business school as a Freshman.
"My undergraduate business experience cannot be dissected from my overall experience at Miami University as a whole. Miami has a unique atmosphere contributed by its long history. That history is every where you look; in the proud face of its beautiful Georgian buildings to the very town of Oxford which was spawned by the inception of the campus.
However I will limit myself to two experiences I have had at this great establishment. Namely the Business Study Abroad Program and the Miami Plan.
First, I have had the opportunity to study abroad in India focusing on globalization through the business program. It is also one of my fondest memories, visiting a country that is in close proximity to my own (Sri Lanka). I had not the opportunity prior to that afforded to me by Miami to visit India. This I admit sounds almost ironic. The trip was intense with lectures every morning and cultural visits in the evenings. I felt I digested six months worth of experiences through this two week program, hopping from Hyderabad to Delhi to Agra.
Secondly, the best thing about being a student at Miami is that you are not limited to your chosen area of study. In fact you are forced to look at and embrace other interests you might have. This is accomplished at our university through the Liberal Arts program called the Miami Plan. For example I had the opportunity to participate in a main stage theatre production through the Theatre Department, for which I received credit towards graduation. I had to learn lines in four different languages for this play. A considerable amount of your credits by the time of your graduation would be earned through classes such as this.
Due to such programs I have grown as a person with broadened horizons. Miami definitely deserves recognition and merit for the well-thought-out academic programs they have in place."
"More achedemic advising is needed.
The Office of Career Services is great and they bring a lot of companys to campus, however with the increasing reputation of Miami and the Business school I would like to see more Fortune 500 companies."
I feel that Miami's greatest asset is its faculty. The professors are the ones who teach the classes, who develop the programs, and they have tremendous real-world experience. I believe there needs to be more of a focus on technology driven business, ecommerce, business planning, development and strategy.
I had an absolutely great experience. The Entrepreneurship Program has especially made my experience outstanding. Props to the Business School for their hard work and continued dedication to the students.
The Office of Career Services does an excellent job of having companies come to recruit and interview students.
Additionally, I would like to commend the Farmer school of business for providing numerous career opportunities for students. I cannot think of one friend or classmate in the business school that has struggled to find a job. Their problem usually consists of selecting which offer to accept. I had the invitation to over 20 interviews. I chose to interview with 6 firms and recieved 5 offers. I consider myself only an above average student, therefore I am very grateful for all the opportunities this business school has provided. While there is definitely still room for improvement, I am extremely satisfied with my decision to attend Miami University.
study abroad programs offered by the business school are absolutely amazing.
Really nice proffesors in the Marketing department.
It's unfortunate that Miami does not yet have something essential for the MIS major: a network lab. We have no access to hands-on learning that covers a great deal of what we'll probably need to know at some point in our careers. These networking subjects are dealt with by lectures that can't effectively communicate certain things that a network lab would solve. However, a new business school is being built, so hopefully Miami will address this problem that could benefit not only MIS majors, but Computer Science and Computer Engineering majors, as well.
Every marketing course that I have taken at Miami has had outstanding professors and very relevant course work. The pre-buisiness courses that I was required to take were often taught by inexperienced and ineffective professors. They were the worst classes I have taken at Miami. My decision Science courses that I took for my minor were taught by very undevoted professors who were here for research only. The rest of the business school has a lot to learn from the Marketing department. The career services has been the most important aspect of my education at Miami. By taking an active role with their program and the guidance of Nickie Esinduy I have been able to find both an internship and a well paying job when I graduate. I know for a fact that my education and experience at Miami have earned me more job offers than my peers at schools like Ohio University and Ohio State. I strongly believe that Miami's business school is superiour to others. I also believe that our Marketing department should be credited for this succsess.
I honestly believe that I would not be so well prepared for my post-graduation plans if I had not attended Miami University for my undergraduate studies. The business school is outstanding and should receive more national recognition. The environment is so conducive to learning. My friends in other business schools are not nearly as well-rounded and prepared for their futures as I am, being a business student at Miami University.
"Through my education at Miami I was able to secure a full time job with Ernst & Young during the spring on my junior year. Now, as a graduating senior, I have a goal of working in public accounting for 3 or 4 years and then obtaining my MBA. I would like to pursue a career in investment banking following business school. I believe the education I have received from Miami, both in the Department of
Accountancy and the Department of Finance, has prepared me well to be successful in obtaining my goals in both the short term and long term.
Finally, my favorite part about my undergraduate education at Miami is the experience of my professors. I feel a majority of my professors have worked in industry at one time or another and draw upon their experiences in leading class discussions. Learning from their stories and experiences is without question more engaging than learning from reading a text book. When looking back over my 4 years it is this that sticks out to me the most about Miami's Business School."
I have been in a very competitive environment for the past four years, and it has been hard but very enjoyable. At my internship this past summer I truly felt ready to be in the business world from the experiences I have had in classes. I feel as though the professors are extremely interested in bettering their students and their teaching methods.
I feel very prepared to enter into the business world. I already have a job and had a total of five offers out of six companies that I interviewed with.
I can't imagine having tried to find a job without Miami's help. Every aspect of the job search is made easier by programs, classes and events they put on and it made my life 100% easier when I was looking for an internship and a full time position.
Our career services center is too focused on finding employers in the surrounded area and doesn't pay enough attention to those students' needs who are from outside the surrounding cities.
