Despite being a large school, I never felt like only a number in any of my classes. I was able to make connections and network, even in large lecture classes.
I believe Temple provides a very practical and highly effective brand of business education. While there may not be as much emphasis on the highly quantitative topics in finance as there may have been elsewhere, I believe that's merely a function of the student body. I have noticed the academic standards increasing markedly since I first started at Temple, and I truly believe Temple will one day be an elite business program. The new building, Alter Hall, is just one sign of Temple's commitment to be a premier program. As Temple continues to rise in prestige and rankings, I'll be proud to say I graduated from the program.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-19 16:29
The Center for Student Professional Development, as it is called, works very hard to provide opportunities to students. They work diligently to provide industry contacts and other avenues for students to "get a foot in the door" at various firms in a wide variety of fields. The reason I've rated them lower than what their effort warrants is simply because Temple does not yet attract the types of firms that a truly premier program should. This is not to say that Temple doesn't attract high quality firms; however, it would be nice to see some of the larger, more well-known financial firms recruiting on campus.
I never met a group of professors in a business program that cared so much about their students. The business program is very small which makes classes more personable and a great learning environment.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-19 16:30
I do think that the university did make me focus much of my academic career in core requirements (i.e. sociology, art, intellectual heritage, general knowledge, etc.). As a result, I feel I lacked a highly focused and regimented program around my specific majors (international business marketing). The overall experience of my studies, though, has been excellent.
Temple's business program curves all grades from midterms to final to final overall grades. They make exams impossible and then curve grades. Students (I) have been told not to participate too much in class. Students are afraid to ask professors for help and end up not learning anything. Professors are focused on power points and getting course requirements done instead of teaching and making sure students learn.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-19 16:30
Our Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD) does a tremendous job of helping students find jobs/internships. They help with everything including resumes, applying for jobs, interviewing, work dinners, etc. (If students worry about it, they cover it). That is the best resource Temple provides.
Our school has an amazing Honors Program that challenges its students while offering continuous support in the areas of academics and career. I feel this program gave me individual attention in a large business school and enabled me to take on leadership roles and prepare myself for a career after college.作者: s 时间: 2010-10-19 16:30
The diversity of my classmates really contributed to my learning and development at Temple. I feel I am much more cultured and open-minded than I would be if I had gone to another school. These qualities will help differentiate me in the business world.
Professors use too many group projects. I understand that they are trying to teach teamwork since in the real world businesses always use teams to get the jobs done. However, almost every business class I've taken throughout my four years at Temple, I have had a group project. They tend to get a little redundant, boring, and I really don't feel that I benefit from having to do 20 group projects on the same material throughout my college career作者: s 时间: 2010-10-19 16:31
Temple has a very specialized risk management department that basically operates separately from the rest of the business school. I received all my job development skills, as well as job opportunities through them. Temple is on the list of very few schools who have a risk management department, so for many insurance companies and consulting companies, we're a target school.
This program goes beyond theoretical knowledge alone and emphasizes working hard and critical analytics over resting on the name of a university alone.
The advising department is extremely understaffed and you will be unable to get an appointment for two months at times. In addition, because of the high turnover of advisors (because they are over worked), many do not have knowledge of specific courses. They built an entire new building (Alter Hall), but not more advising offices. It makes no sense.
