Terry College of Business

-The small class size affords personalized access to career services, faculty and administrators. There are lots of opportunities for consulting projects with Atlanta-based companies. Moreover, UGA's strong MIS and entrepreneurship programs attracts a lot of students who will be in the tech startup mix. I've seen several tech start-ups spring up from our class, alone.

-A more organized system to access alumni would be helpful. I have an easy time talking with alumni when I reach out, but there is no database that provides streamlined access.

-The location and culture of Athens, GA were ideal for me. It provides a unique opportunity for students to work with influential executives of many small to medium sized businesses. The relatively small size of the program gives students more one on one time with career services, faculty, and any professional campus visitors.

-It would be nice if the administration got some fresh thinking on how the program should function - it seems pretty standard from program design and 'teams, teams, teams'. Do something novel: eliminate grades (make pass/fail), make students accountable for their work (to eliminate group free-riding), link the classes together so its actually an integrated MBA program and not just individual elements glued together from the outside, base recruitment less on test scores and more on work experience and what students can bring to the program (we have a student straight from undergrad with NO experience), initiate a serious peer review. I could go on and on.

-The size of our program has created a strong network of camaraderie. I can name every person in my class, the class before me, the class after me, and something about each person.

-Our program should grow responsibly. A larger class size would encourage more companies/recruiters to come to campus.

-The Terry College of Business at UGA has a great reputation amongst businesses in the Southeast. Its proximity to the local metropolitan areas of Atlanta and Charlotte make it easier to network with companies headquartered in those markets.

-I would like to see more electives for individuals pursuing corporate finance as a career. Many of the finance electives are geared towards investments and banking.

-The program is very small and has a great, intimate feel between students, faculty, and administrators. Although not there yet, UGA could be very unique in developing a top-level program amongst southeastern cities (Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, etc.).
