Many of our undergrad classes are actually graduate-level classes. This makes our classes more challenging, but 99% of the time we have an excellent professor, who is willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed.
All the professors are always willing to help. In addition, Lehigh has extremely close connections to all their alumni, which really helps students who are seeking jobs to network with alumni.
Lehigh has a very good, albeit underrated business program. Many students in 2009-2010 academic year have been able to get amazing jobs for next year, all at companies such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and the Big Four. Compared to many other schools where I have friends, Lehigh students have done better than most in obtaining jobs for the upcoming year.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:56
At Lehigh, we have group projects for almost every business class, which has taught me teamwork. The professors are extremely helpful and always willing to meet, even outside their office hours.
Business classes have a small school feel - this is likely because Lehigh is a small school. If the student makes any effort at all, the professor will know your name and face. Most professors are extremely personable and happy to meet with students formally or informally. I've yet to meet a professor who has told me he has better things to do than answer my questions.
Compared to some of the other big-name business programs, Lehigh's is relatively small, yet still is very highly regarded, particularly the accounting department. I have had the opportunity to really get to know some of my classmates and professors, and have also had the chance to meet important people from the real world, such as the global CEO of Grant Thornton and several partners from each of the Big Four.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:57
Every single class within the business program focuses on the realities of the business world as opposed to just teaching the theories behind it. They teach all the theories, of course, but I've learned so much more from the hands-on practicum of the courses than from the theories. Nothing in the real world ever fits one single, exact theory, and our business school teaches you to be able to adapt to any given situation by focusing on logical problem solving.
First semester freshman year, Lehigh throws students right into the business environment in the BUS 001 class in which teams of four or five are expected to create a product or service and write a full business plan (including aspects such as an industry analysis, marketing plan, and pro forma accounting statements). It was a great way to get a broad overview of many different aspects of business and is one of the main reasons I chose the Lehigh business school.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:57
I believe we have a curriculum that prepares us more for the real world than other business programs. Whenever I go on interviews, I always feel I'm more prepared than the other candidates and, therefore, I tend to be more relaxed in those situations.
I like the way the business program has a main major that the student chooses as well as a particular track. For example, a finance major can have a marketing track and learn a variety of aspects of business. Also, I feel that all the core courses gave a great background to all divisions in a business, such as accounting and management.
[The program is unique for] its adaptability. After the market tanked and the economy continued to look gloomy, the business program was quick to add seminars and programs that would help us adapt to this new beast.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:57
Lehigh is a smaller university, but that doesn't mean that the school and its connections are not powerful. On the contrary, the Lehigh network, especially in terms of the business program, is very strong. Lehigh also has a disproportionately large amount of business research going on for its size.
The one thing that I despise is the amount of required classes. We need to fulfill global credits, diversity credits, non-business school credits, and a bunch of other requirements. It is absurd. Moreover, I hate the classification of the classes. There are a very limited amount of classes that can fulfill a certain requirement. For example, I have taken Japanese and Chinese, yet in my senior year I have to take jazz history to fulfill my diversity credit. How does taking Japanese and Chinese not quilify as diversity? It blows my mind.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:58
Lehigh University's business program has a strong history of producing graduates who are ready to enter the corporate business world in finance and accounting roles. Many professors and advisors stress the importance of getting great grades to impress and appeal to the large finance and accounting firms with operations in New York City and Philadelphia. Thus, recruiters from such companies are confident in hiring Lehigh business students who expect to become pieces of the corporate business world after graduation.
Lehigh's business program doesn't have the deep tradition that some of the other top business schools have, but it has shown consistent diligence and tremendous improvements each year. I think the best compliment that can be paid to Lehigh's business program is that each year, many of the seniors I know state that they wouldn't be accepted into the business school if they were part of the freshman class. The hard work and desire for improvement permeates throughout the business school, from the administration through the professors and to the students.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:58
Lehigh's business program is unique because it is a very close-knit community. The class sizes are relatively small such that everyone is familiar with each other. Professors are readily available for academic and career support. The career services office is determined to provide business students with a large list of quality resources. Perhaps the largest benefit of this close-knit Lehigh community is the network. Alumni are exceptionally willing to provide students with career advice and even referrals given the right circumstances. All of the opportunities and resources a business student would need are there for the taking.
I do feel though, the business school heavily relies on its accounting and finance programs. Its IT and management programs are not the strongest but are getting there in terms of when companies come to campus to look for potential recruits.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-20 14:58
The only problem I have is the inability to study abroad. The business school makes it extremely difficult to study abroad, and while they pay lip service to the programs, if you want to go for a semester they refuse to transfer any credit to your core curriculum. This, however, is slowly changing.
The professors provide you with a extremely solid technical background for entering the job market. In addition, career services and alumni connections help students to pursue their individual interests.
Like any college, there are better and worse professors, classes, etc. However, after my internship with IBM, I realized how more than prepared I was to take that next step into the real world. Not only did IBM have the most GBS interns out of all the schools, but I felt that we were at the same level or more prepared than many of the other colleges, including Ivy League schools.
