The university (and the School of Management) often are approached by local not-for-profit organizations, governmental bodies, and even small and medium-sized businesses who seek interns (oten, but not always these represent for-credit opportunities). In a few cases, business courses feature such an experience aw part of the learning objectives embodied in the syllabus. Students who are part of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Scholars Program also complete a community service group project as part of their requirements. The campus student government and many of the social clubs, fraternities and sororities,including those not affiliated with SOM, also undertake volunteer projects and participate in fund drives for local charities.

COMMENTS
The School of Management is a non-departmentalized school, and students freely move between the respective degree programs in "accounting" and "management." Thus,complete separation of data between students studying accounting and pursuing concentrations in other areas of management (i.e. "business" students)is not completely possible. Nevertheless, where possible, we have done our best to make that separation in providing data. It is also the case that some data requested is your survey simply is not kept or available. Some questions therefore remain blank and a few represent "best guesses." A large amount of the data is supplied from the campus Office of Institutional Research and other campus offices.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-25 22:06

Most business schools have the four academic years mapped out on day one. Binghamton, on the other hand, lists the requirements you need to fulfill along with a general outline of progression, but the actual sequence is adaptable to the needs of the student. In my case, I have been able to fulfill the requirements for two degrees and a minor as well as study abroad for an entire semester, and I will still graduate after four years. I owe this to the ability to choose when and what courses I wanted without the stress of being locked in to any one program or sequence.
I think that Binghamton is competitive, but not cutthroat, which is something that I was looking for in a university.
It is worth every penny of my tuition, giving us an edge over many private colleges because we have some money saved up and still received the same or even better education than some of the private colleges.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-25 22:13
It only cares about it's accounting students, everyone else has to fend for themselves without any real help. Finance majors get some help, that's why I picked up the major just-in-case. Everyone else, good luck.
It may be outside factors as well as inside [factors] but the amount of minorities within the program has decreased. And the percentage of minorities are low as it is.
The emphasis on accounting at BU at the expense of finance, marketing, etc. has caused me to view the School of Management as a great school for aspiring accountants, but decidedly mediocre for everyone else. I have also been disappointed in the classroom. Although I have had a few outstanding professors such as Mark Mushalla and Elliot Kamlet, a CFO and CPA respectively, too many of my professors lacked real world experience. Without insights and lessons from the real world, students would be better off purchasing the textbook, reading it on their own, and saving the money spent on tuition.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-25 22:14
The school is beginning to sacrifice the quality of the undergraduate program in order to make the graduate program better. In doing so, they are making it impossible for students to become CPA eligible as undergraduates and are forcing us to attend graduate school. The administration is unreceptive to student feedback on the matter.
The PwC scholars program allows the scholars to obtain a wealth of real-life knowledge and experience. Also, being the No.2 undergraduate accounting program in the nation, many accounting firms recruit for internships and job offers on campus, offering many opportunities for accounting students.
Improvement could be made if the expectations in every class were higher and more was demanded of students. Although all students are capable of doing more work, the curriculum (for most courses) could be more difficult in order to compete with Ivy League schools.作者: s 时间: 2010-11-25 22:14
The new integrative J-Core is something older students are sometimes jealous of (the program started for this year's juniors and is constantly updating). Four classes are taken together with a focus on case analysis. Companies must be analyzed from the many disciplines of business.
The students are collaborative -- we all want to see each other succeed. We do not compete against each other in a way that will harm our relationships in the future. Of course, there is friendly competition, but I think that in the future we will all feel comfortable reaching out to each other professionally for help, advice, or anything else.
We're close to New York City but many firms know the strength and caliber of our students and our alumni are very active in assisting our current students with networking, recruiting, etc
