College of Business

I have the interesting challenge of reviewing the college now that I can look back at it a few years after graduation. After taking much of your basic required classes in the much larger, far more happening main campus, you'll begin to take your business courses in a small offshoot location. It is fairly small, only composed of 2 building that you'll call home for a good 2.5 years or so of your bachelors degree. I've heard explanations of why the business students were quarantined away from the far more fun main campus but it still is the same result, you're segregated away from the cool place which really blows.nnPerhaps they changed it since my time but there's a few demons guarding the gates of admittance to business school. It was universally agreed upon among us students that those demons were, of course, statistics and project management. I've been made aware that they broke statistics into multiple classes since my time, and I don't know if that helped it. I'm not exaggerating when I say statistics single-handedly failed the largest proportion of aspiring business students and I observed a drop-out rate in my stats class of around 1/3 of the entire class. Project Management only had one professor, a man I came to respect through the class, but my god that class was unforgiving. Both Stats and Project Management were requirements to get into business school, you better have a healthy fear of god before you approach them and prepare to give them your all if you don't want to join the many students who fail or drop.nnSo I've covered the demons of business school and that it's a small, cramped location that's pretty boring. That leaves us with you pursuing the rest of your degree, where your classes may vary from mine. I attended pre-covid so perhaps they've fixed this but when I went, a lot of professors would just assign you generic busy work through an online portal. These were entirely busy work, they'd often pull all their questions from online test banks that students would google for easy A's. Just lazy, pointless busywork. I like to imagine covid made them get their act together with that though; their online test bank method to teaching effectively gave the students a degree in googling 101. Overall their professors were typically decent enough, a few duds to be honest but overall a good assortment. For the most part, if you were legitimately trying your best to work hard, the staff would be willing to work with you.nnThat's about it really. You have to dig down, work hard and surprise surprise, you'll make it through business school. What an adventure. I wind up deducting a star because they made this very fun main campus and single out the business students to cram into a couple boring buildings away from the fun. Also, they were very lazy at times with using online test banks as a substitute for real teaching (and they're foolish for thinking their students didn't know how to google test bank answers). All of that knocks off a star in my rating. But I have a lot of love for this school still, and this is a place you can seriously pursue your education. Graduating was a surreal experience, but the best part was seeing colleagues you've studied with and realizing that oh wow, they made it too.

Very pleased with the high quality faculty, the relevancy of the curriculum, and the diverse student body. Proud to be a graduate.

Great school, excellent faculty.

Great place to learn
