Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
I had other business schools in mind back in high school and community college. But once in CSU East Bay, I understood that I was in the right place. Their School of Business is excellent. The department always picks the perfect textbooks and classes prepare students for the real world. The professors are very clever and honestly teach the tricks to getting jobs after graduation. Majority of the course materials always involve research papers, discussion, intense math, presentations and team work. In some classes, exam questions are concept based and if you don?t understand what you are studying you are not going to do well on them. The school has problem in retaining professors. Every year, at least two or three of them are replaced by new ones. So style of teaching keeps varying from year to year. Depending on the personality of the professors, some classes which seemed easy in the past can turn difficult in coming quarters. So there are a lot of challenges involved. You will never know what you are going to get! But this is going to prepare you for the real world for sure. After graduation, it is not difficult to get jobs. Big companies like Bank of America and Verizon welcome CSU Eastbay?s business students. I must also say that many professors are actually businessmen and they have connection with other companies. So if you network with them they will help you get jobs. Now there are some bad apples out there. Yes, they are professors by profession. The problem is that some of them cannot speak English properly. So they struggle while lecturing. They also prefer to copy and paste questions on the exam paper directly from test banks without reading them properly. In their classes, you will suffer. As for students, in the business building, they are very friendly.
