Boler School of Business

Being a smaller type of university, John Carroll's program provides more attention to students who need it because classes are more condensed, and help is assessed more efficiently to those who seek it. Also, the core classes that JCU makes mandatory for all students helps mold students into more well rounded individuals in an array of topics, and most schools don't emphasis that enough.

I would make sure that all professors are challenging students rather than just simply giving them an easy A. It may benefit students GPA but will not help them when it actually comes to performing in the workplace.

John Carroll is a Jesuit University so along with business courses you are required to fulfill a liberal arts core. As for the finance program, I was required to pass a course where we had to manage our own company through financial planning game, competing against other members of the class to obtain the highest stock price.

More classes need to be provided so it is easier to get into the classes you choose.

The Boler School professors and faculty want the students to choose the right program for them. If a major or class isn't working for a student, the faculty advises them to choose what they want to do to earn a living in the future. The professors are also relatable and want to know their students. Office hours, emailing, and calling are common in the business school. Professors know that after school, the students will be representing John Carroll and want to help them succeed not just in the classroom, but also in the professional world.

I think it should be a requirement for all majors that an internship should be completed to apply some of the skills being learned in the classroom and help students better prepare for getting that first job.

We have small classrooms taught by professionals who are dedicated to out learning. They do not just lecture and call it a day, our professors will of the extra mile to help students with their learning, advising, or just serve as a valuable resource that students can use to seek advice. They know who you are two years later after you take their class and still say hello in the hallways, and little things like that help build a sense of community and create a very personable environment.

I'd like to see the business school expanded to incorporate new and exciting courses. For example, international studies that provide comparisons between business approaches in North America as opposed to Europe.

The professors are all very active in the business community in the city around my school. Half the professors are accountants and teach part time or are retired. This allows for a more comprehensive view of accounting, rather than just an academic viewpoint.

There are not very many business electives to choose from. With our business core and liberal arts core, there is very little room to add courses that interest us rather than courses that are strictly necessary to graduate.

We have a great staff that is extremely willing to help with any needs, whether it be school related or looking for a job.
