What Current Students Say See All 13 Comments >

This school just has an amazing atmosphere. Things like the cluster (integrated business semester) and the difficulty of classes make the College of Business challenging, but its people and environment truly make it special. Everyone wants to help everyone else, and we have a great group of student organizations that challenge their members and each other. It truly is an environment of hard work, matched with fun and collaboration.
