This negative comment is directed at Loyola's College of Business and primarily their "Portfolio" program. Portfolio is basically Loyola's attempt at preparing students for the real business world. However, the techniques and lessons taught are, quite frankly, too primary for the average college student to be forced into. They teach things like proper dining etiquette or how to dress "business casual" which is their favorite term in the department by the way. I feel like the assignments I'm required to do in Portfolio are a step backwards. I've relearned some things for the third time by being in Portfolio such as how to structure a persuasive argument and I'm tired of it. It's wasting my time, stressing me out because I want to graduate without this in my way, and I feel a much weaker attraction to Loyola and particularly the College of Business strictly because of Portfolio. Portfolio as a program accomplishes nothing but unneeded stress as a student. The Pass/Fail grading scale where the only pass is 100% completion doesn't make any sense and neither does the necessity of Portfolio every semester to graduate. The $250/semester charge on top of tuition that I'm spending on portfolio is an absolute waste. I will, however, thank the Career Services for Employola as it has helped me locate numerous internship opportunities. I'm personally handling internships and career opportunities myself at a much faster and effective rate than Portfolio allows me. I am not the only student who feels this way, rather I'm in the majority. All who consider Loyola's College of Business BEWARE. You'll feel like you've just been kicked back a few years in high school.
