Even in an era of downsizing and
scaling back, business students
nationwide haven't lost hope.
Business students around the
world share an optimistic view of
the opportunities ahead of them,
according to a recent survey by New
York accounting firm Coopers &
Lybrand.
The survey questioned 1,200
business students from 30 leading
universities and 10 different coun-
tries.
Results showed that regardless of
national boundaries, students share
many of the same beliefs concerning
the growth of the economy.
Brent Inman, the National Director
of Recruitment for Coopers & Lybrand,
said students are especially interested in
seeking opportunities overseas, and
maintaining a balance between business
and pleasure.
"A key thing that was very reveal-
ing was this generation of students
are very interested in international
opportunities," said Brent Inman,
National Director of Recruitment
for Coopers & Lybrand. "(And) per-
sonal life was just as important as
the student's careers."
Edward Snyder, associate dean at
the University's School of Business,
said the survey is consistent with
University graduates' succeses.
"Students have very high-quality job
opportunities," Snyder said. "The
University offers a different and diverse
MBA program."
Snyder said the business world has
expanded into a global economy.
"There has been a turnaround in the
business world," Synder said. "When a
student goes and gets a job outside the
U.S., they are not just a U.S. busi-
nessperson. They are a global busi-
nessperson going to work where there
are opportunities."
Many business students predicted
that business endeavors will have more
influence on the world's future than pol-
itics.
"Many believe companies will take a
front seat," Synder said. "I don't think
we are necessarily displacing govern-
ment. I expect business will take a
greater role in the future."
Michael Lambert, who is pursuing
his Masters of Business Administration
degree at the University, said good job
prospects are a reality for him and his
classmates.
"A good number of us graduating
with MBAs already have jobs,"
Lambert said. "Those classmates
who do not already have jobs I am
certain will get one soon."
MBA student Mitchell Goodnan
said the business world thinks very
highly of the University's School of
Business.
"The University's reputation is grow-
ing,' Goodman said. "The school is a
collaborative environment that teaches
you managing skills, with a focus on
people skills."
Synder said the market is expanding,
with more opportunities than there used
to be.
"It's remarkable how fast and dynam-
ic and less bureaucratic ... the economy
has become," Synder said.

NYU dean offers
grad school insight
By Brian Campbell
Daily Staff Reporter
Getting into graduate school to study
biomedical and health sciences is no
easy task.
But Dr. Joel Oppenheim, associate
dean for graduate studies at New York
University, gave University undergrad-
uate students tips on how to make the
arduous process a little easier.
Oppenheim addressed students yes-
terday at the University Medical
Center's Towsley Center, in a lecture
titled "How to Apply to Graduate
School" as several graduate schools
from across the nation advertised their
programs for browsing students.
While most students applying to grad-
uate school to pursue biomedical and
health research have acquired the neces-
sary scientific background, Oppenheim
said he looks to admit mature students
with a range of interests.
"I'm looking for well-rounded stu-
dents, for students who read the news-
paper and can talk to me in an intelli-
gent fashion," Oppenheim said. "You
have to be able to understand the soci-
ety around you."
Oppenheim said students should take
many factors into consideration when
applying to graduate schools, including
the quality and flexibility of their pro-
grams, finances, geographical location,
library and computer resources, minor-
ity offices and child-care services.
To find information about potential
schools, Oppenheim advised speaking
with professors, using career service
programs and looking up schools in
periodicals such as Peterson's Guide.
Oppenheim said oral and written
communication skills are essential for
scientific researchers, and advised stu-
dents to hone their reading and writing
abilities as undergraduates.
"You can do great science, but if you
cannot communicate this research to
the community and your peers, your
work will never be recognized,"he said.
LSA junior Nora Kuriel said the lec-
ture was helpful because it was less for-
mal than most applications seminars.
"I've been to other graduate pro-
grams before, but I think this is the
best?' Kuriel said. "He gave a lot of
details that other schools don't give and
didn't try to be intimidating"
Oppenheim advised casual dress and
spontaneity for interviews and honesty
on applications, which he said some
students fill with exaggerations, only to
contradict themselves during the inter-
view process.
