In the marketing major, there are many opportunities for real world experience. The Miami Sales Challenge is the final project in the MKT 405 class, and it assigns groups to real world business-to-business sales companies that allow the students to come up with outside-the-box solutions for the assigned company. There is also the Target case in which MKT 301 classes came up with unique solutions to help Target enter into fresh produce. Capstone courses also let students gain valuable real world experience.

It's a big program, but it feels small and personable. You have many options to further yourself and gain a competitive advantage when seeking a job, the business school is beautiful and the program and facility reflect a sense of professionalism that creates a motivating energy. The program brings in many guest speakers and hosts events that give students opportunities to develop connections and further narrow down their focus for the future. Sometimes, students can get locked in and lose focus in such a small town, but the school does a good job of bringing in people from the outside world to help you remember why you are here and what you are aiming for.

The accounting program, more so than the business school per se, is why I feel I am most prepared to enter the workplace. The business school overall is good, but the accounting department, I believe, is a step above.

The competition among the students encourages everyone, students and professors alike, to work harder and achieve more.

The type of people who Miami University attracts has a good understanding of what it takes to balance school work and a social life. Over one-third of the campus is Greek, so social life is important to many people. However, the competitiveness in the business school is blatantly obvious, and every business school student I know is hard-working. I believe Miami's business school students will find success in life because of they will have the ability to develop an effective work-life balance.

Miami's business school is top-notch. The teachers are well qualified and the classes are generally small. The only main issue is academic advising. Students are intimidated to speak to their assigned advisers, but I have found that students usually find a teacher they really trust and talk to him or her about classes and jobs. That is what is nice at Miami, the teachers are approachable and have real-world experience in careers we hope to obtain.
