Quinnipiac University • Hamden, CT
Studying Business Management (completion in 1998)
"I attended 5+ years ago, but I was very satisfied. I would recommend it to anyone."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Quinnipiac is a top-notch business school. I feel as though they are on-par with Harvard, but at a quarter of the cost. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | Quinnipiac has always been considered a top-notch school. I was recently in the position to hire an assistant, and I took special note of resumes coming from Quinnipiac, because the school does turn out able, critical thinkers. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The instructors at the college are very qualified and rely on real-life examples to teach. Additionally, coursework is very relevant and applicable. |
| Instruction | More than 5 years ago | I attended more than five years ago. The curriculum may have changed since then, but from what I understand, it hasn't changed much. |
| How Difficult | 9 | I was fortunate to have instructors that made you push the limits of your abilities. Much of the coursework was very new to me, requiring me to think in entirely different ways. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The instructors I had were used a very hands-on approach. They used real-life examples and challenged you to imagine how to relate them to actual situations. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I took classes at many different times, since I worked at least part time through my whole program. The classes were always available when I wanted to take them. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The library and computer-set ups were always top of the line. Advisors and other resources were always available. |
| Social Life | 5 | Since I worked a lot, I did not partake in many of the extracurricular activities or socials offered. I did appreciate the school's orientation program when I was a new student, though. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I did not use the service. I have heard that it is good, but I have no personal experience with it. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I keep in contact with other alumni members, but mostly through my own efforts. I have not had to use the official school network. |
