<p>Frankly, a lot of these schools are similar in ratings. You should apply to some reach schools too.</p>
<p>Have you considered University of Cincinnati? It not only has a very decent business program, but they provide guaranteed paid coops for 6 quarters, which will enrich your resume more than attending most of the schools that you mentioned, in my opinion. They also would be cheaper than the private schools that you mentioned.</p>
<p>taxguy. Thank you for the suggestion, I have considered Cincinnati, but everywhere I read bad things about this university (fiske guide, two stars in educational quality, students review they mainly give Cincinnati C+, this university is out of the rankings) Plus they don’t have International business or entrepreneurship program, in which I want to major in. Don’t you think Cincinnati is less selective than other schools on my list? I may be mistaken about this university, if it is so please inform me in order me to make more deep research on this university</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>

Im an international student at JMU. I dont think this place is suited that well for internationals. Yeah we have a great business program (ranked #35 in the nation), but the gen-eds are way too much and most people take 6 years to graduate from here.

<p>My son also attends JMU. Yes, the first 2 years there are a LOT of gen ed classes, but the 4 year graduation rate is 62%, and the 5 year graduation rate is 78%.</p>
<p>DOLO2, I have sent you a private message about Cincinnati. I should note that it is accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (
AACSB), which is not available to many business schools. This helps ensure quality for businiess programs. Read over my private message that I sent you.</p>

<p>With this post, you crossed the line and became an idiot, its that simple. I could care less about SDSU, but if someone is going to write something that doesnt belong i will point it out, and that is what i have done. You are talking about insults, etc etc...let me mention again that your post, the first retarded post in this thread, is something that was unnecessary and just remember next time to keep those specific thoughts to yourself. ok?</p>
<p>If adding Cincinnati, consider drexel and northeastern as well. They are expensive however in my opinion, but do offer a variety of programs for co ops that are benificial. But if that is something that interests you and international fees at a public school are still cheaper, look into that, especially those on quarter. Many quarter systems sponsor co op programs during the winter quarter, such as Ohio State.</p>
<p>SDSU is fine for jobs locally and in the SoCal region. But when you mention business, it is very general so the particular field of business depends on what type of business you want to go into. For business skills that rely primarily on people skills (sales/marketing/advertising/wealth management) I'd say SDSU is fine. If you are looking more towards I-Banking and Consulting, you should pick higher ranked schools and do extremely well there.</p>
<p>I want to go to international business, entrepreneurship or management (but most probably first two). So in this case which one from these universities is better?</p>
<p>International = USC
Entrepreneurship = there is a lot to consider such as the school's program along with alumni, specialty programs for faculty consulting and startup programs offering help with business plans to receiving actual funds from the school to pursue your business. </p>
<p>Have you ever looked into Iowa state or U Iowa? Not recognized for international business, but "i believe" ent is a big thing at both of those campuses, ISU more so than iowa</p>
<p>Why is everyone talking crap about SDSU. They have a top 10 international business program, and tons of connections in the San Diego area.</p>
<p>When you say everyone, you really should say...Gonsenheim. The SDSU now, is much different then the SDSU 5 years ago. The graduation rates between the class of 99 and 00' increased 100 percent. From 10 to 20 percent (4 year). By the time my class of 04' graduates that number will probably increase 100+ percent again putting out graduation rates on par with the rest of the UC's and in turn increasing our US NEWS rankings to a more appropriate level.</p>
<p>Gonsenheim, all your high school buddies and "girlfriends", got a free ticket into SDSU based on their location. I would presume they're bringing the grad. rates down. Once you get into the upper division finance programs at SDSU i've found it to be a very focused group of people with an academic priority over partying.</p>
<p>I don't doubt that at all. I was merely pointing out my own personal opinion based on personal experiences. I drew those conclusions from the SDSU students that I've encountered, but my opinion obviously doesn't speak for the entire student body. </p>
<p>I don't know any finance majors at State, most of the people I know are doing business or communications (and at least two are atheletes). SDSU is a big school and like any big school, you will find that group of focused people as well as those who only want to party up and down montezuma. My personal experience has led me to believe that the majority (not all) of the student body at state enjoys partying a great deal.</p>
