Other scholarship considerations:
McIntire students have the opportunity to participate in all financial aid programs offered through the University’s Student Financial Services Office. This office works with parents and students to determine student need, eligibility, and award amounts. Each year, through the generosity of corporations, alumni, and friends, the McIntire School is able to award scholarships to support deserving students. These funds are distributed through the UVA Student Financial Services Office as part of the student’s award package. McIntire scholarship recipients are selected by Commerce School faculty and administrators in the spring of the student’s third year, and the scholarship money is credited to the recipient’s fourth year tuition bills. Most of the scholarships are need-based; some are based on academic or career interests or academic achievement. To be considered for these scholarships, third-year McIntire students complete one application for all scholarships and submit a current resume. A complete listing and description of all scholarships and awards can be found in the University Undergraduate Record.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:05

It would be helpful if this survey were populated with the prior years answers. In that way we could just make changes to what is new rather than filling the whole survey out each year.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:08

The ICE (Integrated Core Experience) program is a unique team-taught, group work focused program at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce. Instead of just letting students declare a concentration and having them only take classes in those areas, ICE gives students a holistic background of business principles. Also, since the program is team taught by professors, you get to know the other students and faculty extremely well. Although I am applying for advertising jobs, I have an advantage over other candidates because I have studied strategy, accounting, finance, systems, and many other key business components that a simple "advertising" or "marketing" major at other schools wouldn't have studied.
Commerce Career Services (CCS) is an excellent resource for resume reviews, mock interviews, and employer networking sessions. CCS makes the students a priority and personally knows each of the students. Their networking abilities are incredible and they really teach students best practices for obtaining internships and jobs.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:10
I think the only weakness of the Comm school is that it stresses financial career paths heavily. I think that finance as a concentration is overdone, and that more students should be encouraged to pursue less common majors, such as IT.
Class participation is heavily emphasized. During the third year (the first year in the business program), our Integrated Core Curriculum was the most coordinated curriculum I have ever had in my academic career. The dean and the rest of the faculty took great efforts to put together a very organized agenda of what students will learn and what projects will be assigned for the entire year. It was the most difficult, yet the most enriching experience, in college.
The only aspect I feel the McIntire School of Commerce can improve is to place more emphasis on to non-finance related careers. Today, it seems like the Comm is strictly and I-banking school, great for those who are interested in the area, but somewhat limited to those that are not. Overall, I would say the Comm has been a GREAT experience and that it has fully prepared me and positioned me for next year's job.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:10
I'm inspired by this place. Everyday I go to class I see a mountain top in the distance which sits Jefferson's home, Monticello. I walk past Edgar Alan Poe's old dorm room and across this magnificent Lawn with colonnades lining both sides, the Rotunda at one end and the business school at the other. I walk up the steps and into the building feeling like I've already achieved one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. I'm the first in my family to graduate from college. This school has been so supportive of me and the people are like a family. I wouldn't trade it for any other school.
It is the perfect mix of all I wanted to get out of college. (1) Great professors who take the time to explain difficult concepts and have no problem meeting you after class to talk about topics ranging from the previous lecture to the last Cav's football game. (2) Very smart and ambitious classmates that push you to constantly be thinking. (3) The facilities are some of the best I have seen around, perfect environment for learning. (4) The social life, everyone in the commerce school is very personable, and it has made for a great time throughout my years here.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:11
In my 3rd year, the grading scheme in the ICE (Integrated Core Experience) was very ambiguous. I did not appreciate that at all. They give the breakdown of grades, but I still cannot accurately calculate my grade. It seems like the professors follow a different grading policy than is told to students.
One thing about McIntire that I truly detest is how often teachers turn to students to teach portions of their classes. It goes beyond participation. I would say that in most classes I have taken the teachers rely on student input to fill up 50% of class time. I just wonder if this is because the teachers don't have anything to say in the first place and are just filling time by asking for student opinion. Honestly, I'm not in business school to learn from other students, I'm attending school to learn from experienced professors.
The advertising class (Promotional Aspects of Marketing) is known nationwide and is an extremely successful program at McIntire. We are provided with amazing facilities, including our own computer lab, conference room, and supplies. I do not think that there is anything like this at another business school.作者: s 时间: 2010-8-11 12:14
The caliber of students is excellent, and as students spend time together in the blocks and other classes, new friendships and connections are always being made. The career services office was also incredibly helpful. There were many companies recruiting at our school, and students received many offers despite the economy. It was competitive among the students, but it always has been. Despite the competition, there is a great sense of community among McIntire students who are willing to help each other whenever possible.
The school puts an emphasis on group work and on students being capable of presenting findings, recommendations, and thoughts in a clear and direct manner. Communication skills are emphasized as much as other skills. This sets McIntire graduates apart from graduates from other institutions. We are creative, analytic, and work well with others because of our training. We are taught to apply material to real life settings which prepares us well for future jobs.作者: myice 时间: 2010-8-11 22:21
