W.P Carey School of Business ( ASU )

I am seriously considering W.P Carey for the undergraduate Business Administration program. Is it academically speaking a good school ? and is it well respected ?

I would appreciate any advice or thoughts from current Carey or ASU students

WP Carey is top 25 business schools, pretty highly regarded. I'm not sure about your major but I do know that the supply chain management degree is top 3 (?). But yes it is pretty rigorous. I know because my brother just graduated with a finance degree from there.

What pre-business classes are you taking next year? I'm going to be a freshman next year and i'm majoring in management and I don't have any pre-business classes besides those classes that are mandatory to take in WP Carey... WPC 101 and CIS 105

Your pre-business classes, like CIS 105, ACC 230 and 240 will be about 300-400 students. All 3 meet for labs at one time during the week (at least they did when I took them) with around 30 students, giving you that 1on1 time. Your economics classes will range between 40-100 students depending on which one you take. I'm in the honors program, so all 300 intro classes, like MKT 300, SCM 300, etc. I have taken with a capped class at 30 students. Otherwise, they will have lots of students. Once you get into your program, and start taking upper-division courses in your major, class sizes will shrink dramatically.

I wouldn't worry so much about large classes. The professors usually have lots of office hours and plenty of TA's who you can go to for help. Plus, these classes are usually very structured, with easy-to-follow directions and plenty of resources to utilize (for instance, my accounting professor posted review videos before exams, and the textbook had online quizzes and such).

Is it rigorous? It can be at times. It also depends on your major, but it is doable if you're willing to make the effort and enjoy what you're learning.

Message me with any specific questions. I'll be a junior supply chain major next year.

I agree that the idea of small classes being necessary is overated. Office hours are plentiful and most people are content to not attend them except before exams. If you want personal attention, you can get it and be loved for it. I got the same amount of mentorship, when I wanted it, from professors in my 100/200 levels as from ones in my 300/400 levels.
