Full-Time MBA
Get to the heart of any problem.
An MBA from Simon Business School is about more than a credential—it’s about a new level of clarity. We’re proud to offer a Full-Time MBA with an unabashedly analytical bias and the opportunities you need to reflect, refine, and take risks. All in an intentionally small and diverse community at the University of Rochester.
Innovative curriculum.
STEM-designated option.
Our specialized MBA curriculum gives you the freedom to select MBA courses that suit your career ambitions with tracks in Finance, Consulting, and Marketing. Under these three tracks, we offer MBA specializations that bring together coursework, co-curricular learning opportunities, and career-building opportunities, as well as 10 minors that reinforce in-demand analytical skills.
We're the first MBA program in the US to offer a STEM-designated option to students in any specialization, which signals analytical and quantitative rigor to employers. For international students, a STEM-designated program offers the opportunity to extend Optional Practical Training (OPT) by 24 months, for a total of three years without H1B visa sponsorship, if they are hired in a STEM-eligible role.
Experience Simon.
What better way to get a glimpse of what life would be like as a Simon MBA than to see for yourself? Our annual signature events typically include alumni panels, social activities, a tour of campus, a sample class, and more. Travel stipends are available.
