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.
