University Of Missouri • Columbia, MO
Studying Accounting (completion in 2012)
• 4/30/2011
"I feel that I have had a great experience and met tons of great people. I also feel that my education has been nothing less than great."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | It's a great program with tons of opportunities. I like not only because of the career opportunities but also because of the amazing people and teachers involved with the program. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | Everyone at the business school always talks about how Accounting is one of the hardest majors. In addition, various recruiters from accounting firms seem to be very interested in hiring the students from our program. |
| Program Quality | 9 | Our program is one of the top programs in the nation; recruiters from various firms interview on our campus. Additionally the Becker course for the CPA exam at my school is very great. |
| Instruction | 8 | My teachers are interested in the students. They want you to understand the material, and for the most part they are excited about what they are teaching us. |
| How Difficult | 8 | I feel that our program is pretty difficult. A high GPA requirement to get into the program keeps things competitive and challenging. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It depends on the teacher. Some classes you need the book, but some it seems almost pointless that you bought it. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | There are not many night classes available. The online options are limited. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | There are so many resources at the school, from online library resources to computer labs all over campus. I've never had a problem getting information that I needed. |
| Social Life | 10 | Sporting events are so much fun. Additionally, as a member of Greek Life, that has given me a great way to increase my network of friends. Also, there has been tons of ways to meet people through various clubs and programs at the Business School. |
| Placement Services | 9 | Business Career Services at the school is great. They provide multiple ways to enhance you skill set and improve your chances of finding a job. |
| Alumni Network | 8 | The school is constantly hosting alumni events and providing ways for us to get in touch with various networks of people. I feel that the alumni seem really interested in what is going on at the college of business and many of them provide generous donations and scholarships. |
University Of Missouri • Columbia, MO
Studying Business (completion in 1995)
• 7/7/2011
"It was a great experience that I would love to repeat. I learned a lot and a big part of who I am now is thanks to Mizzou."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Sure, it was great for me and I would like that others have the same experience and rewards! |
| Program Reputation | 7 | Mizzou has a good reputation. It is not among the best in the country, but it is a well regarded program. |
| Program Quality | 10 | Mizzou is a great University and the Business school is a good one. I had very good professors and an interesting environment. |
| Instruction | 8 | The education is state of the art. The professors are very good and the texts they use are very current. We did lots of research. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Some of the classes and topics are tough. Lots of quantitative methods were included in my studies plan. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | For some classes we had books and nothing else. Other classes were more oriented to real world activities. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | I was a full time student. I did not see major flexibility for other students. Probably now things are changing a little. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | Excellent access to computers and other resources. The business and accounting library is great. |
| Social Life | 8 | I did not participate in sports, but I made lots of friends and the cultural activities were excellent. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I did not see anything particularly helpful regarding placement. Other persons probably used these services, though. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | I am really not very close to the network. They don't seem to be very proactive either. |
Central Missouri State • Warrensburg, MO
Studying Criminal Justice Administration (completion in 1986)
• 9/23/2011
"I received a quality education that I was able to put to good use. Even though I moved into a different field than I originally trained for I was able to apply my learning."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I like the feel of a small school, I had only one theatre sized class. However we had the resources of a much larger university. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | I believe it is still strong in my field. I have a friend who sent her daughter there for a business field and it was still considered a strong school. |
| Program Quality | 10 | Criminal Justice is a management and administration major, not just a "cop" program. When combined with the business minor, my education allowed me to move easily into an alternate field. |
| Instruction | 10 | We spent a great deal of time on business law, which allows me to review contracts or deal with lawyers and understand what is going on. I also learned real world administration applications rather than just theory. |
| How Difficult | 7 | I found the academic work fairly easy, mostly because I found it interesting and was willing to do the work. The law classes required a great deal of time in the library researching cases and writing briefs. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We used books in most of the classes and spent much time with theory. All of the professors had worked in their field so we received a great deal of real world knowledge. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | At the time, there was not a great deal of flexibility. However, now I know they have extension campuses and the ability to take classes online. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | I had all the resources I needed at my fingertips. They had a very good law library for such a small college. |
| Social Life | 7 | There were always campus activities going on to get involved with. Greek life was very active. |
| Placement Services | 3 | I did not need any services as I had a job before I left college. But I also do not remember a huge effort in that area. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | I get newsletters and invitations to alumni events. I also get called for donations at least once a year. Other than that I do not participate in any alumni activities. |
