School of Business

Everything at Quinnipiac is personalized. Because we are such a close-knit school, you have a personal relationship with your professors and they reach out to you with things like internships they feel would fit our personal career goals, and things of that nature. Quinnipiac doesn't even offer classes that are not taught by a professor. I never had a class where my teacher did not know my name. I came to Quinnipiac because it was a small school, but I never expected to have such a great environment as this.

A lot of the recruitment is done by financial or accounting firms. There isn't a lot recruitment for other majors such as Marketing or International Business. For example, there are never any consulting firms, or B2B firms that recruit on campus. It gives us a limited choice, and many marketing majors end up working in insurance after gradation; which is something I have no interest in.

Our business school builds a strong business background for the students before you get into your major courses. This gives you a chance to figure out what areas of business interest you. The school of business also emphasizes the ability to complete projects in teams, which is very important in a full-time position.

I think a larger career services team would be effective. It's hard to schedule physical appointments with individuals. Also in expanding-I believe that they should incorporate a diversity aspect in that it's less intimidating to meet with someone that you identify with whether it be age, gender or ethnicity, etc.

It is a small business school that allows for classrooms to be small so students and teachers can get on a name-to-name basis. The teachers are available for extra help and want the students to succeed.

I would like to see more career recruiters from more diverse backgrounds at our career fairs. I would like to see career recruiters from jobs all around the country, not just from Connecticut.

I think Quinnipiac's business program is unique because so many of the professors have real world business experience and they can better prepare us for what its really like out there and what we can expect.

The information system class which we take as business students to learn about Microsoft office programs (excel, outlook, etc.) is completed during your first semester, freshman year. As a freshman you are adapting to a lot first semester and may not appropriately take advantage of this class at this point. It would be more beneficial for more of these classes to be offered or taken later on in your college career.

Quinnipiac's business program focuses a lot on preparing students for life after graduation by having career fairs at least once a semester, resume reviewing meetings, mock interviews with professional recruiters, and we do a group simulation project where we own a business when we are freshman and then once again as seniors.

As a finance major I would suggest that the school of business adds a few more classes relating to corporate finance. The undergraduate finance program builds a very strong foundation for investment analysis and financial advising.

The academics of QU are very challenging and demanding. I'm extremely satisfied with the academics and education aspect of QU. The students are all extremely intelligent and great to be classmates with.

The University as a whole is experiencing some growing pains as it expands to include a medical school and an engineering school. One of the side effects of such incredible growth is an increase in tuition. This cost increase has unfortunately not been accompanied by sufficient aid, and so the school is missing out of some of the best and brightest minds. Furthermore, some of the teachers allow classes to be held back slightly by students who lack motivation.

Our growing Entrepreneurship program is outstanding. It is becoming a program that truly fosters the entrepreneurial spirit in students, no matter what background they have (business, communications, etc.) and I see the business school overall only further strengthening its reputation because of it.
