<p>Which one is better for Marketing
Quinnipiac or Bryant
i got into both</p>
<p>and after you pick from those put the winner and
QU v Bryant winner versus UConn</p>
<p>2 seperate answers
Give reasons if you can (prestige, program and stuff)</p>
<p>UConn is the best IMO</p>
<p>UConn is a large state school. It will have large lecture halls the first couple of years. The other two schools are small private schools with small class sizes. At UConn you will need to do well (above a certain gpa) to stay in the business program. For some this can be tough in large lecture halls.</p>
<p>I would say between the two, Bryant, because (1) I know Bryant means business and a decent program at that and (2) I have never been able to take Quinnipiac Associate degree programs that seriously when comparingthem with all the business schools in New England.</p>
<p>Cre8tive1, I'm not quite sure where you are getting your info from, but Quinnipiac does not offer any Associate Degree Programs. Their business school is one of the top of the country and is accredited by the AACSB (Association to Advance College Schools of Business - a rank achieved by only 25 - 30% of schools in the country). Both Quinnipiac and Bryant and very strong academically, but I do not know enough about Bryant to make a comparision.</p>
<p>I got into Quinnipiac, and I am very familiar with Bryant's program. They both have good business programs, both accredited by the AACSB. UConn has a better program for business compared with the other two, but you really cannot go wrong going to any of these schools. UConn offers two tracks in Marketing, one in professional selling in which you earn a certificate (well known program), and the other is general marketing. UConn's marketing program, I am not sure, is well known for marketing as it is for its other programs. The Accounting program is among the 35 to 40 schools in the nation listed as target schools by the Big Four. Management dept. was just ranked #3 in the world by the AMA I believe. MIS is among the top 30 in th nation. The Finance dept. has the #6 ranked Real Estate program, and #10 Risk Management program. Also, I should note UConn has, in my opinion, the most beautiful business school in the northeast.
But I must stress this important point, make sure you attend a school you are confortable in going to. Each of these 3 schools will provide you with a great education.</p>
<p>When I took one of my friends to tours, they said associates and the tour guide gave it off as if it were a fly-through program similar to what I could run accross the freeway and get at Scared Heart. Maybe I just got abad impression from a very bad tour guide, but that is what I got out of it and she did say it was an associate degree program.</p>
<p>Someone who says that he/she is a student at Quinnipiac is taking questions, under Quinnipiac, on the alphabetic college list on the cc board.</p>
<p>tennis, I wish I knew some more about Bryant. I started a thread under here about Bryant. What do you know about it?</p>
<p>Creative, Perhaps you have Quinnipiac mixed up in your mind with another school tour. :)</p>
<p>I think there are several things to keep in mind about the choice between these two schools: Quinnipiac is a more broad-based school, offering more choices in terms of majors if you decide business isn't for you. Bryant, on the other hand, has only limited majors outside of their business programs. I would put the quality of business education at both schools on the same scale, but it seems that Quinnipiac, for whatever reason, has a somewhat stronger reputation with employers in the NY area. Another benefit of Quinnipiac, for someone considering marketing, is that they have a very strong communications program, which might be a nice complement to a marketing major. Bryant also has a communications program, but it is not as strong as Quinnipiac's.</p>
<p>A few other comparisons: Quinnipiac's undergraduate student body is about twice as large as Bryant's. And, although the two schools have a lot of cross-applicants, Quinnipiac is more selective and tends to attract students with higher GPAs and test scores. Bryant has a very strong internship program. Quinnipiac has an interesting five year BS/MBA option. The courses required for a major in marketing are extremely similar at both schools, however.</p>
<p>I think the choice between these two schools really comes down to personal preference - a visit to each school, including a talk with someone in the marketing program, is likely to highlight the differences.</p>
<p>Quinnipiac actually started out as a 2 year business school - about 80 or so years ago - and was then a junior college for many years - only in recent years was it changed to a 4 year school as it is today - very good business school from what I hear............ and yes - it still does offer 2 year degrees - for evening and part time programs in arts/sciences only.</p>
<p>Jeepmom, I read somewhere that Quinnipiac still had quite a few commuting students. I guess the history of the school would explain that. So nobody gets the wrong impression though, many students live on campus, but there is no on campus housing for seniors.</p>
<p>75 - 80% of students live on campus at Quinnipiac (including seniors). Only 18 - 25% of the student body is from Connecticut.</p>
<p>Quinnistudent, I thought that there is no on campus housing for seniors. I was told this at an info session 2 years ago, and recently by a parent of a freshman at Quinnipiac. You mean that they are now offering it? How many seniors live on campus? Thanks.</p>
<p>Nope, no housing for seniors. I ment that the 75 - 80% is of all students, including seniors. So that percentage takes into account the seniors living off campus. so part of the 25 - 20 % of students not residing on campus is the senior population.</p>
<p>Oh, I understand. Thanks.</p>
<p>Is it still true today that Quinnipiac does not have housing for seniors?</p>
<p>Anyone here know?</p>
