School of Business Administration

It is a very diverse student body, which allows for a more global view of the business world when you're dealing with all different kinds of people. The business school does a good job by starting you off with the full array of introductory courses in the different aspects of business before you get into your major/minor.

Honestly, the only thing that could make our business program stronger is a change in mindset from certain potential employers. Without being given the opportunity to interview for companies like Bain, BCG, and more, these companies are missing out on a community of students that has been forced to balance college life like very few have ever before. Miami, as a city, offers students with hundreds of options on any given day. When students are able to succeed at Miami, while balancing a social life, they would be able to succeed anywhere.

There is a strong emphasis on team work. Almost every class requires you to work on a project in a team. These are good opportunities to learn from other students. There is also a lot of diversity in the program. Every class is full of international students. The program also goes to great lengths to bring in speakers from the business community. Bruce Berkowitz came to campus a few weeks ago.

I feel they could challenge us even more in the classroom and have more structured classes in the Finance major instead of being allowed to pick from a pool of classes. Finance courses focus a lot on banking and investing but not as much on the corporate side of Finance

UM is extremely well connected in terms of professionals and well-known companies coming to campus. For the health sector program, we have such an incredible advantage having President Shalala here, and some wonderful professors teaching us.

I feel that University of Miami's business program is vastly underrated and needs more publicity for being a great academic institution. Some students need more direction as to when they need to apply for jobs and internships - in my opinion the kind of thing one can easily figure out on his/her own, especially given the resources available at the university, regardless, some students need more of a push earlier in the game along these lines.

With a former cabinet member and Secretary for Health and Human Services as University President, the shift in the business program to provide a top tier health care program will provide a niche market for future employers seeking well rounded individuals for health information services and healthcare management and policy.

I would like to see a stronger emphasis on helping students prepare for the job market and the job search. The Toppel Career Center is available for all students at UM, but the job search is different for business students and the career advisors' advice isn't always very helpful. The business facilities also have room for improvement.

Miami is a very culturally diverse area of the United State and an international hub for business. I chose the University of Miami, among other reasons, because of its diversity.

The expectation of students needs to be raised significantly. As a Finance and Management Science major I cannot receive the necessary education because students do not learn the underlying math to go into any meaningful depth in these fields.

The business program has very good professors. I have not seen any TAs teaching classes, which makes the course even better because there is more experience and knowledge. There are always activities with groups, and discussions in class. The classes are very small and challenging.

I think we need a more cohesive culture and more healthy competition between students.

The University of Miami is unique because of its small size, generosity with scholarships, location in Miami, and wide open academic programs for a university so small.

Less needless electives, more focus on finance classes for finance majors. I would have liked to take more courses but I have not been able to due to electives.

The professors in this program truly care about their students. They want us to learn as much as we can from the textbook and real world examples.
