What's the deal with Monmouth University's business school?

I'm trying to figure out my chances for getting into a decent business program, and I've heard some things about Monmouth University. As a junior with a lot on my plate, I don't have a lot of time to do deep dives on every college that catches my eye. Does anyone here know if Monmouth's business school has a good rep, especially in the Northeast? I wanna make sure I'm applying to places that will set me up for success in the business world.

Hey there! It's great that you're thinking strategically about your business school options. Monmouth University's business programs have been gaining traction, and one of the benefits is its location. Being in New Jersey, Monmouth offers proximity to major business hubs like New York City and Philadelphia, which can be fantastic for internships and networking opportunities.

Their business school is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which is the hallmark of excellence in business education, held by only about 5% of business programs worldwide. Being AACSB-accredited, Monmouth is recognized for meeting high standards of excellence, which can be comforting to know as you consider the impact of your degree in the business community.

What you might want to also consider is how you align with their program. They offer various business concentrations, such as finance, marketing, and real estate, among others. Think about what niche of business most interests you, and check out what specific resources, clubs, and courses Monmouth has to support those interests.

Since you're looking for a school that'll set you up for success in the business world, do look into Monmouth's Leon Hess Business School and their outcomes for graduates—like where alumni are working, which companies recruit from the school, and what kinds of internships students secure while enrolled.

If you get the chance, reaching out to current students or alumni through LinkedIn could also give you a good sense of the opportunities and environment there. I hope this helps, and good luck with your junior year and the college search process!
