Being in the city of Pittsburgh, the business program works hard to incorporate interesting firms within the city into our curriculum. For example, in a marketing course, I was able to help design the new student seating section for the Penguins new stadium. We have also been provided numerous chances to work with the sports teams and major companies stationed downtown and in various Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
Career services and job placement is excellent. Different companies come to the business school every week and try to recruit and offer interview to students. This is in addition to having multiple career fairs, presentations, and other networking events that gives us the ability to network作者: s 时间: 2010-10-26 21:44
The only problem I had with Pitt's business school was the air of superiority that many of the students carry with them. Thus, early on I decided to go outside of the business school to secure the majority of my friends.
Though these kids are nice, I feel they're a little short-sighted when it comes to how to be successful--instead focusing for the most part on the money aspect of "making it".
Classes are never more than 50 students, and professors are very accessible. It is not uncommon for a student and a professor to meet outside of the classroom and discuss not only academic coursework, but also what career path to choose and how to get there.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-26 21:44
I believe that the rapport between the student body and the professors and faculty is excellent. There is a definite community feel to the business school, and for those who are willing to reach out and utilize the resources provided by professors and the school alike, they will find much success in the business world. Relationship-building is key in business, and the atmosphere of our business school is completely conducive to this mindset and philosophy.
I think that the University of Pittsburgh business school needs to re-evaluate its faculty. For example, while the accounting faculty may have had a few years of accounting practice and experience, they are by no means teachers. Teaching is a skill, just like accounting, and it would do wonders for the students if the professors were competent on explaining.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-26 21:45
My academic advisor was great in helping my plan courses and finding a minor. Also the career services office is great in assisting students with choosing a major, courses and internships. There are also a lot of on-campus recruiters and career fairs available when job-searching.
The school needs to bring its curriculum up to date. I work in Search Engine Marketing, and most of my professors don't even know what it is or can't admit they don't and assume it is the same as search engine optimization. They also need to rebrand majors to what they actually are, i.e. we need a major for supply chain. I did not have one glimpse of digital marketing throughout my entire school career.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-26 21:45
Pitt's business program integrates experiential learning to a degree that is unmatched by other schools. From the first semester of freshman year, you're getting involved in hands-on projects, whether it's planning a community service event with the kids on your floor to creating a comprehensive report on a company's financial, manufacturing and marketing health--and that's just your first year.
The school allows you to individualize yourself as a student and as a member of the community. They offer many opportunities for students to interview with, talk to and interact with potential employers and many of the courses even integrate professional speakers within the course syllabus to offer students an extra opportunity to meet and learn about these companies.
It has been difficult and demanding, but I know it was worthwhile and will be rewarding once I graduate and enter the business world.
