STUDENT COMMENTS
There are always opportunities in the MSU business program for meeting firms. I receive at least three e-mails a day detailing either a seminar for a program, job opportunities listed on Spartantrak, or presentations from various firms. I feel Michigan State has done a better job giving me the resources to find a job than any other school I've heard of.
I am a part of the Financial Markets Institute (FMI), an honors program for elite finance and accounting students. If you are a part of these honors programs, which are offered for almost every major, you may basically pick your job because advisers go out of their way to get you interviews and help you network with alumni.
The Eli Broad College of Business is a top-caliber program that is getting better and better. The only downfall of the program is that the classes are watered down by low-caliber students. This is not seen in accounting classes because accounting requires a 3.5 GPA. I think the Broad School needs to be more strict in its admissions. The Broad school has one of the best career placement programs. We have a beautiful facility, the Lear Center.
The accounting department does a great job preparing students for the workforce. It is a competitive and challenging environment in which the professors care about the students.
The business program allowed me to get the job I wanted. I will be working at Shell in less than six months, and I feel that I couldn't have gotten this job without the help of the business college and the university.
I have gained a lot of knowledge about business at Michigan State University. It really helps to get involved in at least one student organization and be an active member. You will meet a lot of great people, both students and recruiters, and you will learn a lot of tips about Corporate America.
Michigan State University does an excellent job of providing the tools and skills necessary to assist and prepare students in finding their first full-time position.
I would feel much more at ease if the school had a program/course that helps students to prepare for their career.
The biggest downfall of the Eli Broad School of Business is the quality of teaching. It is borderline poor, and the administration does not seem to care. We fill out surveys at the end of the semester, but the questions are short and very general. I have had several TAs who were better at teaching than the professors themselves. In fact, this has happened pretty regularly throughout my undergrad experience.
The Eli Broad Business School here at Michigan State has always done a great job on preparing students for their occupations upon graduation. Instead of just teaching the material, they always relate it to real-world examples and situations that the graduates will encounter.
I love my university and the Eli Broad Business College at Michigan State University. The professors are amazing, the amount of preparation for internships and full-time jobs is stressed, and there is a lot of team-building group work done in classes. I am graduating this May and feel fully prepared to be successful and able to contribute to the success of Merck in the Global Procurement Dept.
I really appreciate the Broad School's emphasis on practical learning and international business. The career services are phenomenal and have greatly helped me in my internship preparation and search. Being the No. 1 study-abroad university in the nation, the college also pushes students to experience the international aspect of business. This prepares students for the rigors and challenges of working internationally.
Over the past four years here (I'll be a five-year student) it became increasingly difficult to coordinate schedules with students having other classes, jobs, exams, and papers to do. I disagree that team projects add much value to your skills. I think that is one of my major gripes, but I don't see team projects going anywhere.
I am an honors student and am a proud future graduate of the No. 1 undergraduate supply chain school in the nation. I have received multiple job offers, and I do not feel that is coincidence. I took full advantage of the Broad College's academic advisory programs, extracurricular activities, leadership and service opportunities, and many internships.
As much as Michigan State is a large university, the college of business does a great job of giving individuals the one-on-one attention needed to succeed in the competitive world we are about to enter. The faculty is very knowledgeable about the business environment, with real world experience under their belts. They are constantly teaching us the important and vital things we need to succeed once we are finished with our undergraduate careers.
The diversity of students, the student culture and atmosphere, and the quality of the business school were what impressed me the most. There are more opportunities for personal and professional development at MSU than I could possibly list. As a junior, I have been given the opportunity to coordinate a completely student-run forum event featuring top excutives from the world's most prominent companies. I have been able to meet with the Deans and they have been willing to hear my opinions and truly listen to my ideas on how to better the college. And finally, the faculty at MSU are not only great researchers but are passionate in their teaching. That is something not all schools can boast.
Classes are really easy, not challenging, but fun environment. Huge class sizes are a big downfall for me.
I can't stress enough how happy I am that I choose to come to MSU, and especially grateful for the career oportunities that have come through my major, supply chain management. I honestly have no idea how or if any other university can match the opportunities we are able to enjoy.
I feel that graduating from the Eli Broad College of Business made me a much more attractive candidate to many companies and firms, and that graduating elsewhere could not have afforded me some of the same opportunities.
The Broad Business Program is wonderful. The teachers are excellent and the students are not only smart, but dynamic.
