“Education
with a personal touch.” While I found B-W did
live up to their slogan,(faculty was accessible and involved) I
found that the school's majors were mostly old fasioned and
a little too catering. Many of their majors have not
been “updated” in years. One example of this is at
B-W, the only difference between a marketing major and a
finance major is 5 classes, or 15 credit hours.
This can be attributed to the school being a slave
to the liberal arts “business core” that all business majors
must take, thus B-W lags behind more concentrated majors at
other colleges. Moreover, finance and accounting majors are not even
required to take basic calculus as part of their major.
Anyone who understands how competitive top level graduate schools
are in these majors will realize what a detriment this
can be as most high level grad students from major
universities have an extensive math background. I understand that
B-W is trying to keep their retention rate high and
integrating calculus into some of their business programs would make
many students drop like birds on an electrical conductor, but
perhaps those students would be more suited for a general
business or business administration degree instead. This school is
not doing finance, accounting, or economics majors any favors by
withholding advanced courses. I would also like to see
a few more “progressive” programs introduced into the curriculum; perhaps
Actuarial Science, Nano-tech, or E-Commerce....I believe programs like this in
Northern Ohio would really set B-W apart in this college
condensed area...... On the positive side, most of the
courses B-W has are taught quite well and the professors
are very passionate and engaging, with solid backgrounds. The
school would be best suited for someone that would like
to stay in the region with a very basic entry
level job after graduation.
