<p>Barrett,</p>

<p>Here’s the other half of your answer:</p>

<p>I think thats about 3000ish CLAS grads from 2005 and 2006. If you look on the Art & Sciences Career Services web page I think you can find the same data in excel form.</p>

<p>What is McIntire’s strength? It seems like Accounting would be strong because of all the programs offered (masters…connection with E&Y). How’s finance?</p>

45

<p>I believe all of McIntire’s concentrations are strong. I’ve heard it’s due to the [Integrated</a> Core Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/academic_programs/undergraduate/ICE.html]Integrated”>http://www.commerce.virginia.edu/academic_programs/undergraduate/ICE.html) which “emphasizes the development of integrated analytical, strategic, and behavioral skills that address real business problems.” Here’s more info about ICE from [Business</a> Week](<a href=“http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/undergraduate_mba_profiles/mcintire.html]Business”>http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/undergraduate_mba_profiles/mcintire.html).</p>

<p>I am familiar with the Integrated Core Experience…and Business Week doesn’t really give any further insight at all. The alumni comments are cool though.</p>

<p>The comments praise the Comm school in every single aspect. I would love to read Untitled’s post now about it being a waste. I want to hear the other perspective.</p>
