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. MORE THAN 40,000 SERVED DAIA Y. 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. 1429 Hill Street FRIDAY "A Day in College for 5th Graders from -Detroit," sponsored by Project Serve, Call 764-0639to participate - ."Conversations with Courtney Clixby," sponsored by Unions Network Television, channel 24, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Q "The Music of 17th Century Italy and Germany," sponsored by The E-17 Quartet, The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, 520 W.
