Our review
Saunders sits inside one of the country’s biggest co-op universities and behaves like it: the MBA cross-registers with engineering and design, placements skew toward advanced manufacturing and imaging tech, and the co-op inheritance means students rarely graduate unemployed. Simon covers Rochester’s finance lane; Saunders covers the factory-floor-to-firmware lane.
