Full-Time M.B.A. Program
Your decision to pursue an M.B.A. marks one of the most important
steps along the path of your business career. More importantly, the
place you obtain your degree lays the groundwork for the type of
skills you will master and the caliber of professional relationships
you will forge.
When you enroll in the Simon School’s Full-Time M.B.A. Program,
you will immerse yourself in one of the most challenging and
rewarding educational experiences in the world.
The Simon Difference
Small Size. Simon prides itself in being the smallest
top tier M.B.A. program, with an enrollment of approximately 800
full-time and part-time M.B.A. and M.S. students. The full-time
graduating class of 2006 has approximately 150 students, which
provides intentially small core and elective classes and
facilitates a highly interactive learning process between fellow
classmates and professors.
Selective Admission and Diverse Students. Applicants
are chosen for their potential to make contributions to
business, as well as the diversity of their personal and
professional backgrounds. International students comprise
approximately 40% of each entering full-time class, making Simon
one of the most culturally diverse among leading U.S. graduate
business programs. This creates a dynamic learning environment,
and dramatically impacts how students learn about the global
marketplace.
Economics-Based Approach and Cross-Functional Curriculum.
The common thread of economics allows students and faculty
to share ideas and solve problems based on mutually understood
methods and terminology. Faculty members teach students that
most organizational problems incorporate finance, accounting,
operational, strategic and marketing issues; thereby students
learn to look at issues from numerous vantage points and come to
fully understand fundamental concepts.
Leadership Development. We work closely
with our students on gauging and then developing their
individual leadership capabilities. As testament to our success,
Simon graduates are both highly sought after by corporate
recruiters and distinguished by their capacity to effect
change—within Fortune 500 firms or through the
successful establishment of entrepreneurial ventures.
Teamwork. We emphasize group work allowing
each student to benefit from the quality and diverse cultural
and business backgrounds of their classmates. We also foster a
strong partnership between students, faculty and staff in the
learning enterprise.
Through projects, hands-on experiential learning and rigorous
quantitative training, our students gain everything they need to
step out of the Simon School and into the fast-paced action of the
business world. Full-time M.B.A. students:
