<p>I hoping that some of you can help me. I'm trying to help my daughter gather data on Ithaca's School of Business where she was accepted. I know they don't have one of the top ranked business schools but does anyone know we we can find any rating data.</p>
<p>If you have any personal thoughts they would be welcome as well.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>From our visit to Ithaca last year, our tour guide told us that the business school is not accredited and, therefore, will not have a rating data....If this has changed since April 2007. I stand corrected</p>
<p>Ithaca just opened a brand new business building this semester. It is accredited by AACSB International, which is a title that only 10% of business schools worldwide possess. It is also one of the most sustainable buildings in the country (platinum). It's an absolutely beautiful building.</p>
<p>As a business major at Ithaca, I highly recommend coming here. It'll be the top ranked school at Ithaca within a number of years.</p>
<p>We even have a student run investment room. We manage a $25,000 mutual fund using resources like Thomson One Financial and a real-time market board. If you're into that stuff, I find it hard to believe there are much better places to go than Ithaca. </p>
<p>If you have any more questions about the school just let me know.</p>
<p>Hello im just wondering if you enjoy the business program here?</p>
<p>I am not a business student, but I have several friends who are. I have to say, I’m very impressed with the school. They still have the trading program and there is even a room that is completely decked out and is dubbed the “Trading Room.” We bring guest speakers every few weeks to campus who are prominent businessmen and women. There’s even a competition every fall, funded by an alumnus, that encourages students from any major to come up with a new business idea. The winners of this competition (about 4 projects) receive a $5,000 grant to make it a reality, and then, after a year, if you’re still working hard, they will let you apply for a $10,000 grant. It’s pretty awesome! If you win, you have to enroll in a once a week class that will help you ensure that you stay on task with your business model.</p>
<p>“It’ll be the top ranked school at Ithaca within a number of years.”</p>
<p>If you mean only at Ithaca College, perhaps. With Cornell nearby and Syracuse an hour away, I think that may be too grand an expectation if you meant the top ranked school in the Ithaca area.</p>
