In Minneapolis, there is a wide base of many strong companies. Carlson has been able to forge relationships with many of these companies and work hard to bring them on campus for in-class lectures, out-of-class lectures, club meetings and information sessions, like "General Mills" day. By listening to business professionals in many of my classes and other Carlson-sponsored events, I feel I have a better understanding of what the workplace will be like.
The Carlson School of Management has a grading policy that is a forced curve. Instead of collaborating, sharing, working as teams, learning, etc. Students are fighting for position on curves for better grades. It is almost impossible to get a grade lower than a "C," but its also harder to get an "A." I believe that the grading policy has placed more emphasis on grading and less on learning new things and working together.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-12 21:01
I was disappointed with the number of classes that were taught by graduate students rather than actual professors. The quality of skill and knowledge transference by graduate students just does not compare to that of someone with actual teaching or professional experience.
The staff is focused on helping students prepare for the real world. One of the main differences I have noticed comparing the business program from other programs at the university is that the business students formulate goals and plans early on. Every business student I know has a plan upon graduating, which is vastly different from the people I know in other programs such as the College of Liberal Arts.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-12 21:01
Our school has a harsh grading curve to prevent grade inflation. This curve receives a lot of criticism from the students as it typically causes our GPAs to be lower than students from other Midwest business schools, but it is a good technique to keep students accountable and performing at their best. It simulates the real life competition that occurs between individuals in the business world.
I've enjoyed the honors program. I was able to learn international strategy from a professor that earned an international award for her doctoral thesis; take a seminar on Business, Society, Governance and Law with a corporate lawyer who had remarkable life experience; take a strategic communications course with an editor for NPR; and take other liberal education requirements in an intimate discussion based environment from well-known and published professors. Also, because it is a university honors program, these classes include very intelligent people from diverse academic focuses and backgrounds who contribute tremendously to the classroom discussion and experience.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-12 21:02
It has been useful in some areas, but those areas tend to be a result of a wonderful professor, of which there are few. Students are too focused on grades and the grading system is set up to give everyone the same grade, a "B". Advising is terrible and virtually doesn't exist after the freshman year, unless you actively seek it out.
The most unique aspect of the program that I found in my time at the university was the sheer volume of opportunities both within the business school and outside of it. With 22 undergraduate business-focused student groups and over 600 campus wide, there was a group for everything you could possibly be interested in. These student run groups allowed outstanding opportunities to get leadership experience, interaction with business professionals, and general business knowledge through weekly or biweekly events with speakers and professional topics. These student organizations also allowed me the opportunity to socialize with other students that both shared my interests and offered unique views on topics of interest to me. I think my student organization experience was the most valuable learning experience of my undergraduate career and I think it was only possible with a large university with the resources provided by a capable staff and close proximity to a large city.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-12 21:02
Our recruiting system is top-notch and the Undergraduate Business Career Center offers many services to help, such as mock interviews, resume reviews, information sessions, a strong alumni network, and literature on companies.
The Entrepreneurial Department is very solid. The program is taught by professors with proven track records in starting and profiting from businesses. They know what they are talking about. It is not just theory to them. The school has a very prevalent subculture. Very little is done to address ethics or sustainability in students thinking. There is very poor teaching on leadership.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-12 21:04
The Carlson School of Management is unique due to its location with dozens of top Fortune 500 and 100 companies within the metropolitan area. These firms are well connected to the school which allows students the opportunity to connect through student groups, classroom speakers and networking events throughout the school year. These experiences and the preparation taught by its staff and instructors set Carlson School students up for success.
The Enterprise programs are the best experience undergrads can have for learning project management and getting real work experience in an academic setting. It has been the single most valuable experience of my time here and I would say that this unique experience has made the most impact on me.
