How is the Katz Business School?

<p>I’m a current freshman in the business school, and I really enjoy it. First off, The Katz School of Business is the graduate business school at Pitt. The undergraduate school is called the College of Business Administration (CBA). Pitt isn’t known for its business school, but it’s actually the second largest school at Pitt behind A&S. There’s a lot of opportunities to get involved in the business school early on in clubs and such, but you don’t start taking business courses until sophomore year usually, so I can’t speak to how those are. From what I hear though, the professors are passionate about what they teach. CBA really excels at getting companies in to recruit students, and Pittsburgh is a great city for business students. There are 8 fortune 500 companies in downtown alone (Dick’s Sporting Goods, PNC Bank, Heinz, etc.) that recruit heavily from Pitt and offer a lot of internships for undergraduate students. Just this first semester I attended the Fall Career Conference and met with several employers about possible future internship opportunities, and I have a couple friends that already have internships lined up for the summer. Overall it’s a great program that’s becoming more and more well known, and I definitely suggest you enroll!</p>
