When you’re a business leader, problems don’t come to you gift-wrapped. At Simon, our curriculum balances immersive experiential learning opportunities and world-class instruction to provide you with the tools you need for complex decision-making. Our professors and instructors are thought leaders in their fields and the go-to experts in the analytics- and economics-based approach that cemented Simon's place as one of the world’s top business schools. Our Frame, Analyze, and Communicate (FACt) curriculum will also equip you with the critical skills you'll need to stand out to recruiters as a top candidate and define your career.
The academic calendar is provided by the Simon Business School Registrar's Office and includes important dates for each academic quarter, including drop/add periods, midterm and final exams, and scheduled breaks and details on the timing for courses we anticipate offering in the academic year. It is a general calendar and does not include all the specific details for each program entry point.
Most students pursue their MBA for one reason: to advance their careers. At Simon, every aspect of our program is designed around that goal. We call it our Integrated Student Experience. It means that everything you do here—including your coursework, co-curricular activities, and career search—is intentionally connected and focused on positioning you for career success.
