wow, that is great!
I didn’t even know that Georgia Tech had a business school…so i’m surprised on many levels
Even after all that -there are students at GT that are really dismissive of the business school.
GT’s business school is well respected. They hire a lot of GT Business grads at the company he works for.
This is the graduate programs, so I am not surprised. It is in the middle of Atlanta, and is associated with technology related firms and businesses and is not ridiculously pricy (I don’t see how my alma mater made the list for best value…). Of course it will do well. The graduate programs probably also attract a different type of person than undergrad programs who may be at a school just for a generic business major. MBA students may recognize the advantages of a place like Tech and attend for those reasons. Undergraduate business programs that rank highly usually have unusually good career centers and perhaps many courses that focus on experiential opportunities (they also make sure the schools offer insane EC opps). The goal of the undergrad programs is to get the students to land solidly paying jobs straight out of UG whereas an MBA is usually enhancing a person already established in a workplace or even someone who is already an administrator at a business. I think completely different metrics go into UG ranking (like internship penetration, “academic quality”, blah blah…and of course starting salary). Either way, my guess is that the UG experience at Tech is different (though still good, maybe just not quite like at schools known for UG business programs. Kind of like its biology program may be underwhelming in comparison to pre-med factory schools and certainly not as great as BME or BCE). At the UG level, undergrads may view the school as something much below the STEM opps whereas the graduate students recognize that it provides great opps because of that (grad students will be more mature and perhaps less risk averse and willing to take advantage of opps across boundaries, many UGs just want to make good grades, do standard resume propping, and get the 55k/year job). At some of the other schools, the business school is honestly one of the most famous entities at the school among the undergraduates (like at Emory, Notre Dame, Berkeley)…however, most do not have them (like Ivies minus Penn, Duke, and Chicago).
Scheller does well … again!
