Rita M. Reed (2002), Attending Wharton School of Business’ MBA program
“ Xavier University’s Business Division is the best. The professors saw my potential as a student and made sure that I achieved it. You were not just a number as some would say at a larger school. The coursework was thorough and challenging. As a result of my Xavier education, I have interned with a top Wall Street firm and passed the CPA exam on the first attempt.”
Leonard Hinton (2002), Financial Analyst; Credit Suisse First Boston, Investment Banking Division, New York, NY:
“Xavier provides the necessary academic foundation required to succeed in the Corporate Arena. The true advantage of the Xavier Business Division is its size. As a smaller department, students have greater accessibility to its professors to gain concentrated one-on-one attention that aids in the learning process. Additionally, the Business Division and Career Services also afford students with valuable internship opportunities, which is the most differentiating factor to make students competitive for job market placement upon graduation.”
Leslie Thorp (2002), Sales Representative; 3M Health Care Markets, Memphis TN:
“My experience at Xavier has contributed tremendously to my personal and professional success. Being in an environment where the faculty and staff genuinely cared allowed me to grow and exceed my own personal expectations.”
Robert Joseph, Jr. (2003), Tax Consultant; Ryan & Company, Dallas, TX:
“Transferring from a larger university to Xavier, the personal relationship a student is able to establish with the professor is priceless. You are given the freedom to complete projects, at the same time receiving guidance from your professor, just as you would receive guidance from managers in the workplace. My Xavier education also stressed the importance of teams and teamwork. This has helped me transition perfectly into corporate America as I work effortlessly with my team to complete assignments efficiently.
Candace Alfred (2003), CRM Project Analyst; 3M Corporate Customer Contact Center, St. Paul, MN:
“ Xavier University of Louisiana has given me a solid business foundation by promoting the academic fields as well as the interpersonal skills which has made me a well rounded employee. My classroom knowledge has allowed my managers to accelerate my training process, helping me undertake multiple research projects simultaneously. A large portion of my particular job function entails analysis reporting, and my marketing education has definitely allowed me to approach and manage analysis projects with minimal supervision.”
