学生评价
- Academics: The uniqueness is being the first wave of students in this program. However, the stress and pressure is overwhelming at times.
- Academics: This program is competitive with many others. I have a relationship with my professors who want me to be successful and a vital part to the professional workforce.
- Academics: My major, the International MBA, is unique in that it differentiates from a traditional MBA due to its emphasis on global trade and cultural differences. This aligns directly with the way business is going in terms of growth opportunities via expanding markets outside of domestic borders. To have a clear understanding of the opportunities as well as challenges gives corporations a leg up in terms of their possibility for success. Workload is standard and aligns with the traditional graduate school requirements. the flexibility of online course offerings really helps in accommodating working professionals. My branch location, Charlotte, is very convenient and accessible as it sits right off the main highway, I77, at the edge of town.
- Academics: My professors have been great so far. The curriculum is very well put together. Registration process is relatively easy but can be improved. We're required to outline our entire curriculum as we would like to take courses throughout our academic tenure. This is virtually impossible as course availability changes each semester, often depending on enrollment, which directly affects the course outline from semester to semester, causing the forecasts and even expected graduation dates to fluctuate. A turn key program would be my first preference. Albeit a branch location consisting of only one building, I'm pleased in the study space available at our location.
- Academics: When I was at Gardner -Webb University, I was a Sport Management major. The classes help me understand the determination you will need to become successful in this field. The teacher were very helpful in many ways, and help you with getting a internship. They also taught you how to present yourself in a interview. The teachers has a lot of experience in class the are teaching and good help from different programs in the field. The work is not easy, but the will work with you to get the job done. The work is to help you in the future job in the field. The facility the classes are taught in is small, but we do not have big classes. The curriculum is strong , and would challenge you to want to make a difference.
- Academics: Gardner-Webb is known for having the most well-rounded amount of General Undergrad classes; registration for classes is usually quick, the professors are friendly and challenging (in a good way). The work load depends on the professor, and most students study in either their dorms, the library, TSC (Tucker Student Center), or the bottom of the DCC (Dover Campus Center)--there is no lack of study spaces/hang out spots.
- Academics: I love being an English Major at Gardner-Webb! English majors are required to have both American and British Lit as well as other literature courses including Shakesspeare and Young Adult Lit. If you are an English Education major (which I am), a lot of the courses taken apply to the classroom setting like Structure of the English Language, which focuses on grammar. The workload consists of mostly reading and discussion online and can be overwhelming sometimes, but in general fosters lots of critical thinking and different perspectives. Some of the last classes required for English majors are workshops which can be used as internships; it depends on what your focus is concerning internships (creative writing, preprofessional writing, education, etc) but the classes are all awesome and the professors are equally so.*(4)
