Classes in the business school try to prepare you for life after college through simulations and many group as well as a few individual projects. As a senior I have worked on a couple of projects that affect either the campus or another company. You really feel like you are making a difference and get a taste of how projects will be like after college.
From my perspective, W&M is perfect for those individuals who want to immediately make the move to large, business-based cities like New York, after graduation. Although all the practices they teach can be applied to everyday business, the context of the curriculum is based on large corporations. Our business program also immediately begins to expand your networking skills from the first day of class. It will introduce you to many successful, experienced business people currently in the workforce.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:39
William and Mary has very knowledgeable professors who relay their knowledge to their students. Having the brightest of students in class makes the classroom a very competitive atmosphere, just like the working world. I believe the Mason School of Business really prepares their students to succeed in the real world. The only down side is that the challenging tests and grading makes our GPAs lower than our peers even though we are just as or more knowledgeable than them.
I enjoy the experience based learning. Professors do a great job of making you learn and understand concepts. Also, how these concepts relate to the current and future economic conditions. The ambiance with the William and Mary community and alumni is a true testament of the quality education available. The alumni and community are comparable to a family and provide incredible networking opportunities!作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:40
The biggest complaint I have with the business school and William and Mary in general is that too few employers and graduate programs fully appreciate the difficulty of the curriculum and the academic pressure we all face, compared to that of other universities. Because of this, our grades are often not considered in the context of the school, and we face a great deal of difficulty competing with other students from more lenient and less intense programs in the job market and graduate admissions, because they have better GPAs and thus have less trouble securing interviews because of it, despite their education being less rigorous and intense. While the rigor of the school is one of the qualities I most admire in William and Mary, I feel that more could be done to get across the fact that our academic achievements, while not as impressive in absolute terms compared to that of other students from competing institutions, really reflects a higher quality of instruction and intelligence on a relative basis作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:40
Mason encourages a great sense of community among the students and faculty. Perhaps this is an extension of the same sort of ideal prevalent in the greater university. The program also encourages students to double major and to study abroad. Thus, this fosters well-rounded students that not only well educated in their respective business-related fields, but also engaged in the numerous other activities.
This past year, the new business building, Miller Hall, was opened and it has been unbelievable to take classes there each day. It is by far the best building on campus as other students outside of Mason will tell you. I could live there.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:40
The wide array of activities in which a student can get involved is particularly impressive. We have clubs dedicated to the interests of every business major, as well as to sustainability and social endeavors that pique the interest of the business student community. We have been able to host impressive speakers such as Bob Seelert, the Chairman of Saatchi and Saatchi and Adam Werbach.
The fact that the Mason School of Business is NOT a target for most financial services firms and private sector consulting arms makes everyone--faculty, advisors, and students--work that much harder to turn graduates into competitive hires. The result is a group of highly competitive, incredibly competent workers that consistently outperform their peers on the job. We have the talent and the track record, but still lack the pedigree... and this is something we are all determined to change.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:41
W&M Mason School of business really emphasizes community, and the impact we have on not only the professional world we'll be in but includes other broader implications as it prepares us to be competitive in the job market. Professors and Administrators have developed me to be truly excited to enter the professional world and make a difference.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-13 17:41
