Notre Dame's emphasis on sending good people out into the world, not just intelligent individuals, will help Notre Dame students stick out in the real world. The emphasis on ethics within the business program is extremely effective and is something that should be replicated by peer institutions.

Our alumni network and career center really make Mendoza students attractive. The Career Center goes out of its way to make recruiters happy whenever they are on campus. It is easy for them though since most of the recruiters who come are alumni who are actively trying to hire ND students.

The alumni influence on our business program is phenomenal. Many of our professors are Notre Dame grads who worked for a few decades in the business world, then came back to teach because they love Notre Dame. During job interviews, it is clear that alumni recruiters absolutely love Notre Dame, and will do everything possible to hire as many Notre Dame grads as they can.

The interaction and communication between teachers, administrators and advisors, and students [makes the program unique]. The students are intelligent and highly competitive but frequently work together and bounce ideas off each other to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. The teachers are always supportive with office hours and answering e-mails. They are always looking for us to succeed and are willing to meet with us outside of class to enhance our learning. I have personally had great experiences with the advising and administrative office. I, at one time, was on academic probation. While on probation, I worked closely with the advising office to plan my schedule accordingly, to discuss strategies going forward, and my advisor would occasionally check-in on me to see how I was doing, I was really proud of the program for sticking with me and showing me a new way to succeed.
