Sellinger School of Business asks senior majors to fill out Business Week survey

Business Week's annual report on the national rankings of the best undergraduate business schools significantly rests on the feedback that the publication collects from senior business majors. In order for Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management to be eligible for the national ranking in Business Week's report, a significant percentage of these students must complete the survey that will be administered within the next couple of weeks.
Last year, the major reason Loyola University Maryland was not ranked was because Business Week did not receive enough feedback from senior business majors via this survey. This course of action is detrimental on two fronts: One, the lack of response did not allow the business program to initialize programmatic improvement, and two, prospective students across the country could not use Business Week as a means to learn about Loyola's business program.
Strides have been made to encourage students to participate in the completion of this survey for the sake of programmatic feedback: senior leaders have been working to push their colleagues to complete the surveys, and the faculty has started to remind their senior students about the importance of the survey along with when and how to participate.
Dr. Karyl Leggio, Dean of the Sellinger School of Business and Management, believes that this survey "gives our program and our students the recognition they deserve. One of the most important features of these surveys is it enhances our reputation on a national scale. Business Week is a national publication; receiving recognition brings Loyola's name to prospective students and employers in a larger geographical range." The survey not only confirms what business programs do well, but it also assists many prospective students and their parents with a means to learn more about the business programs featured.
As a professor and Senior Associate Dean of the Sellinger School of Business, Dr. Roger Kashlak tells his students to answer honestly - good, bad, or indifferent. "The student feedback is crucial for improving our own program," he said. Dr. Kashlak also notes the importance of this survey. "Our executive, professional and Global Management MBA programs are receiving recognition. The last piece is our undergraduate program."
