Alabama A&M University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Alabama A&M University
- Reviewed on: March 19, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I am in the marketing program with a minor in international business at A&M's business school and I love it! The program is really well-rounded and I enjoy having the opportunity to practice my analytical and problem-solving skills on case studies taken from real business situations. There is a nice balance of theory and practice, and since my professors come from a range of backgrounds and are working professionals, I'm gaining real-world knowledge. I feel like I'll be well-prepared to apply the marketing skills I'm learning in a global environment.
