Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | My school is not really known for being a "business" school. However, it is a great program that I would recommend to others. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | My school is primarily known for health sciences. I think the business program has a good reputation, but the school is not really "known" for being a business school. |
| Program Quality | 5 | My college was focused mainly on health science. I feel with further research, I may have chosen a different school for my chosen major. |
| Instruction | 8 | Every school has both superior and inferior professors. I feel that overall, I experienced some top-quality instruction. However, that was slightly blighted by some really bad instructors! |
| How Difficult | 2 | I enjoy learning and find it comes pretty naturally to me. I experienced a few challenging courses, but overall, I found college pretty easy. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We had lectures, labs and internships. Many hands-on opportunities were provided, offering a good balance. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | At the time I attended, they were fairly flexible. These days, they offer a wide variety of online options. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | We had an excellent library with great resources. When I was there, the computer options were a bit lacking. |
| Social Life | 8 | The social scene was very fun, with many options. My only criticism is that adequate security was not always provided. |
| Placement Services | 1 | I personally found them to be almost nonexistent when I graduated. I believe they have improved since. |
| Alumni Network | 9 | My school is all about keeping alumni in the loop. They provide many activities and networking opportunities. I only put a 9 instead of a 10 due to that fact that they are a bit pushy on the fundraising. |
