2016 Experience

Experience during the program

My experience at Owen was great. There is a tremendous culture that has been built around camaraderie and collaboration that is perfect for the city, the university, and the size of the program. The future of the program looks to be very bright and the gains in admissions/recruiting are evident.

Something to consider about the program are the trade-offs the come with a smaller program in the south. The small class size and culture at Owen leads to a great sense of community but it also means there is probably less diverse elective options and specializations. Being in Nashville is a great plus for Owen. It is a vibrant and growing city that has maintained a welcoming and friendly culture. It also means that many of the on-campus recruiting opportunities, particularly in consulting, are for the Nashville and Atlanta markets. If you are interested in working in consulting in the northeast or on the west coast, this would be more of a challenge at Owen.
