SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A作者: s 时间: 2010-7-23 16:39
Owen at Vanderbilt has been a jewel in the rough for me. I learned a tremendous amount from great faculty that has prepared me for a post-MBA career and has helped me grow as a person. While the curriculum has been rigorous, I was also able to have balance with a great network of friends and an abundance of activities. -- Investment Banking
Owen is such a close knit community. You can't help but learn from your peers, the faculty, and staff. It was the best two years of my life! -- Marketing
The program has excellent professors and the quality of work assigned is quite high. The atmosphere is quite friendly and it's easy to build networks. -- Finance
Owen MBA has helped me to change my career even at the age of 41. I have landed with my dream job in investment banking. -- Investment Banking
The Finance education I have received at Vanderbilt rivals that of other schools. This was evident over the summer when I was as well or better prepared for my internship than those from other schools. -- Finance作者: s 时间: 2010-7-23 16:39
The community at Owen is amazing and such Camaraderie truly lends itself to an increase in interpersonal skills among students. -- Entrepreneurship
I took advantage of the opportunity to study abroad for a semester, and thought it was one of the greatest aspects of Owen - the relationships with the other international schools. -- Human Resources
The finance curriculum is challenging, yet the accessibility of the faculty and collegial atmosphere of Owen make the daily grind surprisingly enjoyable. -- Finance
Negative: Lack of diversity. -- Marketing
When I was attending Owen, it was the first time in my college career that I actually felt challenged in the classroom. -- Marketing
Vanderbilt is a great school and its small size is a big asset. -- Investment Banking作者: s 时间: 2010-7-23 16:39
Much of the information you gain during an MBA experience can be picked up by reading the WSJ daily, but Owen challenged me to become the leader I have always wanted to be. I was able to lead my peers and gain the confidence to advance in my career. -- Consulting
I absolutely loved my time at Owen and would recommend it to anyone. -- Marketing
There are many different things people want to get out of an MBA program. I believe that where you want to end up is a very important factor in where you go to MBA school. When I came in, I wanted to stay in the Southeast. I ended up taking an Investment Banking job in New York, because Owen opened my eyes to what a challenging experience this might be. However, had this been my goal to begin with, I probably should have targeted schools in the Northeast. -- Investment Banking
The program is well balanced and emphasizes both theoretical as well as real life learning. It is good to study in small school and Vanderbilt has a friendly environment. -- Finance
The program was good but location makes it difficult for jobs outside the South. The companies that come to the school also need to increase and get better. -- Finance作者: s 时间: 2010-7-23 16:39
I would definitely urge friends or colleagues to enroll at Owen, without a doubt. The personalized nature of the program is what most impressed me. You really feel like you are a part of a family at Owen. While competition is an important aspect of any b-school culture, this program succeeds at creating a balance between scholastic activities and extra curricular endeavors - especially with respect to serving the Nashville community. -- Entrepreneurship
As a career switcher, completing an MBA was integral to changing the direction of my career path. For people looking to radically switch careers, getting an MBA gives you the necessary skills, signals your commitment to performing well in your new career, and gives you access to contacts and career services to secure the job you want. Owen excels in all of these aspects, especially in the Healthcare program. -- Marketing
I have already urged multiple colleagues to enroll for the vast opportunities that Owen represents. -- Operations作者: bigpig 时间: 2010-7-23 21:28
