The Smith MBA program is a unique experience. It is small enough so that you are able to network with most of the class, yet diverse enough to meet people from all professional and cultural backgrounds. It is definitely a good return on investment compared to what is offered at other programs. -- Finance

Given Smith's current ranking, it�s very difficult to attract the top three consulting firms and investment banks. While some students do get interviews and offers from these firms, they�re mainly through personal efforts and not career services. -- Consulting

I was proud that going to Smith was my first big investment decision, because based on the investment valuation techniques I learned in the MBA program, it was an excellent one. -- Finance

The career services office was a disappointment. I did not receive a lot of advice and coaching, which would have been very helpful since I lacked focus in my job search. -- Finance

The company that I am currently working for recruited me from campus, and my compensation is almost double what I was making before my MBA. -- Information Technology

In addition to a rigorous academic training, we spent a lot of time working on developing our leadership and team spirit. And international students had access to cultural orientation services that helped a lot with settling down. -- Finance

s

The MBA program at Smith taught me how to work well in groups and helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses in the work environment. It also challenged me intellectually, because I took classes outside of my comfort zone in unfamiliar quantitative subjects. -- Consulting

As a career changer, I found the program to be challenging, exciting and very informative. In terms of education, networking and practical learning, I have had a nearly perfect experience at Smith's B-school. -- Finance

My salary more than doubled as a result of my MBA, and I found a position in my preferred field at an excellent local company. But the best thing I received from Smith was the confidence to assert myself in the workplace. -- Consulting

The education you receive at the University of Maryland compares to any program in the country. This is evident in Maryland's tremendous success in national case competitions. Maryland also has great alumni and regional connections in all fields. -- Finance

Smith has a large number of limitations. The quality of faculty is very uneven, ranging from excellent to awful, the facilities could use improvement, and the administration routinely implements programs very poorly. -- Marketing

s

Smith does an excellent job with marketing, IT and consulting. It's probably not a great fit if you are trying to get to Wall Street. -- Marketing

I focused too much on my classes, and not enough on the job search and my career aspirations. As a result, I had trouble finding employment. Otherwise, the program was great. -- Finance

Smith's MBA program is challenging, which made me push myself and learn at full capacity. I not only learned from theory, but also from practical experience through guest speakers and mentorships. -- Consulting

The collaborative student body enhanced my understanding of new concepts and allowed me to benefit from the knowledge of my peers. I also felt comfortable approaching my professors, and they would always make time to speak with me about topics covered inside and outside of the classroom. -- Consulting
