Warrington College of Business Administration

It is a very well rounded program that leaves the student in charge to either learn the material or not. The teachers are always there for assistance if a student were to need it but for the most part the workload and even watching lectures or going to class is left up to the student. The student has to WANT to learn to do well in our program and I think that is what makes our program so successful and unique.

I would like to see better teaching in my department (Information Systems and Operations Management), preferably having professors teach instead of graduate assistants who don't have much industry experience at all.

Because the program is so large, many of the business classes you take early in college are online platform classes. Many people would see this as a bad thing, however, it taught me to manage my time, allowed me to work when I wanted to, and study with friends. In my upper level business classes, group projects and case analysis were emphasized which was the perfect complement to round out my business education.

I wish they utilized their professors more. The classes I had with professors were classes that had over 400 students. The classes I took for my major (while MUCH smaller) were all taught by TAs. While I did learn in those classes, sometimes I really needed the guidance of someone who was surer about the material. I feel like my major is slightly neglected by the undergraduate business school. (Information Systems & Ops Man).

The faculty is highly experienced in their fields. Amongst my teachers I have had quant analysts from investment banks, federal bank examiners, and successful businesspersons, all with PhD education and significant academic contributions to their fields. There are many international opportunities for studying with other business schools which are often the top schools in their countries (i.e. Korea University) and funding study-abroad is easy with large amounts of available grants and scholarships.

UF could use even more courses on entrepreneurship. I'm really interested in starting my own business, and I would like to have more knowledge of how successful businesses are started even though we have learned a lot about how they have failed.

The Fisher School of Accounting is honestly a special place. The professors, administrative staff, the advising, is something you cannot get anywhere else. The quality of learning is high and the school is committed to building leaders and the business professionals of tomorrow.

There are many classes that are now starting this team-based learning method of teaching. I do not enjoy it at all. The teams in some of my classes are 8 students large. I think that the way that these classes are structured should be changed and students should be given the option to take a class with forced team projects as a major percentage of our grades or a class where it is based mostly on individual work or smaller teams. Some classes with this new structure are mandatory towards certain majors or minors, and it would be nice to be given the option of the class structure since many do not enjoy working in such large teams/groups.

The business program is adamant about career preparation and reinforces the skills necessary to get a job through classes such as business speaking and writing, advising, and student career mentors. There is never a lack of assistance in the area of career preparation.

The program can should offer and require more classes in a "live" setting. I personally feel that I have learned more from the classes that I was engaged in (group projects, discussions, etc.) than the classes that were offered online.

It's the top business school in Florida, an important and growing business market. Additionally, UF's business program is heavily funded by outside sources (alumni, grants, etc.), so our facilities and resources are top-notch.

With such a large college, the competition to get involved in any of the leadership organizations in the business school is too high, in my opinion. Unless you are one of the best and brightest in the college, it is difficult to get into the organizations. This makes it difficult for students who are not accustomed to such high competition, and they easily fall through the cracks.

Our career resource center is top of the line. Also, there are plenty of activities to help us balance our stress levels during exam weeks. There is never nothing to do or take part in.

I know the school is already diverse, but I'd like to see it more diverse. If the business students could intermingle more with the liberal arts students, I feel their views on things would further broaden.

The school provides the students with many resources to prepare them for job interviews by helping them make exceptional resumes and also provides us with the chance to schedule a mock interview. I've also found that they arrange for at least a couple of business' each week to come by for interns and it really benefits the students by making internships easier to get which is important since it is required for graduation.

Get away from online classes, or at least make some form of attendance mandatory. Assign for weekly quizzes/homework to make you work more than just studying for exams. Decrease overall attendance, make program prestigious.

The business school does an excellent job of providing students with activities that build real world skills. For example there are student consulting, investing, and economics clubs. In addition they encourage and facilitate international travel.
