Five Reasons We Love Simon
February 19, 2024 | Simon Admissions & Programs Team
Recently, we celebrated “I Heart Simon Day,” which was a chance for our community to come together to grab a sweet treat, enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee, and reflect on the things we love about Simon Business School. The list is long! Here are just a few of the reasons we love Simon—and think you will too!
♥ Our students.
Simon students continuously impress and inspire us—they are exceptionally bright, hard-working, involved, and committed to community impact. They are the heart of everything we do!
♥ Our faculty.
At Simon, you will work one-on-one with thought leaders in finance, accounting, economics, management, and marketing. Our faculty teach across all Simon programs and are deeply committed to providing a rigorous, high-quality graduate business education.
♥ Our alumni.
A Simon education takes graduates to great heights, but despite being based in 80+ countries globally, our alumni remain exceptionally engaged with and connected to our community. They not only coach current students, but they also take the time to connect with prospective students at recruitment events to help potential students get a sense of the Simon culture—one that is supportive and pays it forward. Speaking of which…
♥ Our community.
It’s common to hear students, faculty, and staff reference “the Simon family” because of the close-knit community we foster and cherish. We understand that the connections you make now are the ones you’ll carry with you for the rest of your career. Wherever your next adventure takes you, the Simon brand—and family—will be behind you.
♥ Our inclusiveness.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion is a core, shared value of our community, and diversity has always been championed and celebrated at Simon. In 1968, we were the 4th school to join The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, and in the past several years, we were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 most diverse MBA among top-50 business schools (U.S. News & World Report, 2021 and 2022, respectively).
We’d love to have you as the newest member of our Simon family. If you’re ready to take the first step toward your future career, we encourage you to target our next upcoming application deadlines—you can apply for free and no GMAT or GRE score is required.
