Lindner College of Business

The University of Cincinnati has an outstanding business program. UC has provided me with a comprehensive classroom education, as well as exceptional practical experience in the form of co-op. I had no difficulties finding a job in spite of the difficult economy. In fact, I successfully landed my dream job. The University of Cincinnati has far exceeded my expectations in terms of fostering my educational and personal growth. I know that I will be a better business leader and member of the community because of my time as a Bearcat.

One main issue that is a continued topic between students is the quality of some professors. The amount of foreign speaking professors continues to grow which makes it more difficult for students to learn. The university needs to cut back on the number of foreign speaking professors to give students a higher-quality learning environment.

The Co-op Program at the University of Cincinnati is excellent. It's a great way to gain: experience (both work and knowledge), industry connections, job references, money (paid jobs), and potentially a job offer.

Only certain programs within the business program require some type of internship, but could be made a requirement for even at least some summer exposure for every business student; would really add to their undergraduate experience and not every student gets this opportunity

Because UC is so close to downtown Cincinnati, we have a huge opportunity to learn directly from speakers from large companies (ex. P&G). Also we are able to use the University's connection with these companies to get our foot in the door for at least an initial interview.

My only real issue I experienced at UC was with academic advisors. I never really felt as though they provided me with enough information or assistance when I met with them.

I'm a part of the Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUS program and it's unique in that it really focuses on preparing us for the job market through ethics courses, professionalism courses, and even an international study abroad trip.

Sometimes scheduling can be difficult in smaller majors such as IS. It would be great if classes were more flexible.

The various honors programs available in the UC College of Business are integral in helping students succeed. I was never a great test taker, and as a result, many school's honors programs would have overlooked me based on ACT/SAT scores. However, UC offered two ways to get into their programs. One based on high school grades and ACT scores, but the second was based on your performance in your freshman year. I achieved a 3.8 GPA as a freshman and was offered a spot in the Kolodzik Business Scholars program. This is when things really took off for me professionally. This program truly put me in the right situations to meet people, to be a leader and to present as a marketable future employee. I feel that much, if not all, of the success I have seen early on in the result of the KBS honors program and the college of business education.

I felt undervalued in many of the general business courses, mainly because these courses are taught in the large lecture hall. There was very minimal contact / personalization in these courses. Perhaps the business school could seek to eliminate or constrain the amount of people enrolled in one course.

All of the professors who teach in the business program make the school's business program unique. They have the real-world business experience and knowledge implemented into each lecture they use when teaching their students.

I think they need to improve helping people with job placements. In the first two years we take classes helping build our resume and interview skills, but that is the extent to which I feel the business school has helped with jobs. The university has a website that employers post jobs on to sign up for an interview and there are job fairs, but nothing directly through the business school.

There are so many extras that my college offers to help students develop their careers and find jobs. They have career fairs to help students find coops, internships, and jobs. They also hold a lot of seminars or events that help students with things like resumes, interviews, dining etiquette, etc.
