<p>Currently I am an undecided major, but I think I will probably end up in business. Most of the business programs of the other schools I applied are ranked very high nationally, but Providence never really comes up. I love the school, but could this be a drawback? I dont really know anything about business at PC. Whats it like??
thanks</p>
<p>ps, is this forum dead?</p>
<p>well I still check it but not many people still post. Anyway I'm really interested in Business and PC has a good business program with a big alumnai network. I think it usually never comes up is because its a liberal arts school and doesn't have a formal business school to be ranked. I've done alot of research into their business program and it seems to be great. I think it said 30% of the student body are business majors...</p>
<p>yup.... its dead</p>
<p>Buuuuummmmmppppp!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I'm going for business and PC is one of my top choices because it has the 5 year MBA program, but I was a little worried about how strong the program was compared to some other schools I've applied to.</p>
<p>5 year MBA program is a joke for any school. MBA's are useful only after work experience. You graduate, work, then go back for one. Besides a lotta schools have the 5 year program so PC doesnt stand out because of this option.
Im still unsure about PC's business program too though. If I had some assurance about the type of jobs the undergrad b school students usually land, I would consider the school differently.</p>
<p>okay, off to a good start..... i didnt even know they had a 5 year MBA</p>
<p>I believe the most popular major at PC is business, if that helps.</p>
<p>Yeah...I'm really trying to convince my Dad to let me go to PC...I've been getting alot of information about business and job placement and it seems pretty good. It's really what you make of it...if you get good grades and good experience, you'll get a great job...if you don't you won't. I don't think the 5 year MBA program is a good idea cuz it involves alot of summer coursework which is when I think people usually do the really cool internships...</p>
<p>Check the school website for news releases. Our local papers recently ran a story stating that the business dept. has been reclassified as a business school. I don't know what that means (more funding, more staffing, or nothing at all--I don't know!)</p>
<p>Oh thats really cool...I hope it means that there'll be a better business program!</p>
