Simon Has a Top-Ranked, Internationally Recognized M.B.A. Curriculum
A Simon School education is transformative, focused on providing you with the latest theories in the science of management and on teaching you how to effectively use the theories in practical business situations. The common language of economics allows you to share ideas and solve problems based on mutually understood methods.
The Simon School’s highly integrated approach to management education sets it apart from other graduate business programs. With Simon’s strong cross-functional curriculum grounded in economics, you will understand the intricacies of the contemporary business world. No policy is made within a vacuum; no deals are secured in isolation. It is only through cross-functionality, both in and out of the classroom, that you will learn the invaluable repertoire of proven business practices and tools that can be applied to a myriad of different situations.
You will learn that problems cross all areas of the organization and begin to view these issues from numerous vantage points. You are taught a three-step approach, called FACt—Frame-Analyze-Communicate—to think through business problems, rather than just recall the latest business cases and solutions.
At Simon, you are equipped—from day one—with superior analytical, creative, and team-focused skills to take on actual business problems.
These skills enable you to see the underlying makeup of business issues. Simon graduates leave the School with the clarity to find opportunity in problems and then to create positive change.
Simon prides itself on being one of the most personalized among the leading business schools, with an average full-time enrollment of 180 MBA and 130 MS incoming students annually, and intentionally small core and
elective classes.
