What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

Mendoza College of Business is unique because it cares for the whole student. They care about our academic pursuits, but also care about our personal development and future careers. The academic advising office is extremely supportive and always willing to help. The professors are the most unique aspect of Mendoza. They work hard to cultivate personal relationships with students. Three different professors in Mendoza have invited the class over for a group dinner, which shows me they want to create a strong sense of community. I know my professors will be there for me and my peers for matters including academic issues and support as well as personal and career issues. Mendoza truly cultivates a family-like environment and I will always feel at home there and with my peers.
