申请点评
- Academic Experience: So far, the workload is manageable and seems fair for my specific degree in Finance. The facilities are all "top notch" and allows you to be able to utilize their equipment, space and resources for any and all of your course work, incase you don't have access at home or simply prefer to work at school. I haven't had an oppurtunity to take a look into much of the internship and job oppurtunity's as of yet. I have been in the finance industry for over 12 years and from the oppurtunity's that I've seen on the school websites and their affiliates, most of the posting are for "entry-level" positions, which I am unable to support my family with, so I haven't persued any of the oppurtunity's available at the time.
- Academic Experience: The professors are very knowledgeable about their material. The majority of them help every step of the way and want students to succeed with their education.
- Academic Experience: Most business courses are located in the same building which is very convenient. The curriculum provides a broad very of the many types of business degrees. The workload is manageable and some material transfer between courses which is very helpful when studying.
- Academic Experience: Again, I am new to the school and have little experience to speak on actually facts regarding a fair lenght of time that will allow me to give an accurate assesment of the professors and cirriculum. I will say that the registration process was fairly simple and with the right advisor, choosing course work should also be fairly simple as well. The best thing that you (prospective student) can do to get the most of of your experience, is to do as much research on your own as possible before meeting with the staff. It makes retaining the infomration you receive much easier.
- Campus Quality: The campus has many secluded areas on campus to use to study. Whether it is to meet up with a group for a project or pass time between classes, their is always an area to use.
- Campus Resources: The library and computer labs are very accessible to students. There are many computers to use and staff to ask for hepl if you need it.*(4)
