STUDENT COMMENTS
I transferred to SLU's Cook School as a music major. It took extra work to catch up with the other business students, who were a year ahead of me. The teachers were helpful and attentive. When a situation arose it was dealt with quickly and the students' concerns were addressed, given their proper weight. I would recommend SLU to anyone, especially someone looking for smaller classes and attentive faculty. SLU also has an excellent reputation in the St. Louis community, especially when compared to Wash U.
Help to find internships is available if you want it, but you have to be self-motivated to get them. I think more emphasis should be placed on the value of internships and students should be allowed to receive credit for more than one internship.
Our school can get you a great job in St. Louis. If you are a student from another city and want to use our career services to ease the job search, forget it.
The faculty at St. Louis University is an outstanding group. Some of my professors have expressed real concern and have provided amazing courses that have challenged me. More important, they are looking for ways that they can improve. They are actively seeking student input on ways that they can improve, and I've really enjoyed taking part in this initiative.
I feel well prepared to compete with graduates across the country for job placement.
We need to develop better relationships with investment banks and hopefully get more of them to recruit on campus.
The school does not make on-campus interviews very well-known to its business students. It could to a much better job in the areas of job placement and classroom integration with real-world professionals.
Locating a rare gem of an adviser is a difficult task, but luckily SLU's business program does have one excellent adviser among the spoiled crop.
One pleasantly surprising advantage SLU carries is that since it is a private and small campus the classroom sizes are not overly distracting and students are able to establish a relationship with their professors. Bravo to SLU. Bravo.
The business department's career services have been again surprisingly outstanding. They've been a tremendous help from finding an internship/job to helping students prepare for interviews.
The lack of security on campus and the escalating crime in the area have made me question the school's concern for their portable piggy banks (aka students).
I had some poor teachers but overall most teachers were very helpful. Some classes were very easy and uninteresting while the finance/accounting classes were more challenging. Overall, the business school has done a good job preparing me for my future.
To get the full benefit of our business program, I feel like students are the ones who are responsible for digging around and seeking help. Once students start looking, services can be found, but on the surface there doesn't seem to be much help available.
There is a dominant feeling among seniors that career services is often ill-equipped to help with job placement, especially when compared to schools that our friends attend.
Students seem to like professors who are difficult and fair, such as Dr. John Keithley, Dr. Mike Alderson, and Dr. Ali Nasseh.
Accounting students have a far easier path to finding a job through campus recruiters here at SLU.
International Business is a shining star on campus.
Academic advisers here are useless. The University also needs to develop a new way of registering for classes, or get a server that can support the number of students here.
I have had four internships, three of which I received interviews for through the business school's career services department.
The business school building is one of the nicest on campus. The atrium and breakout rooms make the school conducive to group work and study. In the classroom, class size is generally small and the technology has recently been updated.
