Student Experience
There’s no better preparation than experience.
Simon provides comprehensive academic support and resources, as well as hands-on experience and extracurricular opportunities to enhance and enrich your MBA experience—no matter where your interests lie.
An MBA Experience That Prepares You for What Comes Next
People usually get their MBA for one reason: to get a better job. At Simon, the Integrated Student Experience (ISE) helps you get there by aligning academics and activities with your career goals. The Andrew Ainslie Office of Student Engagement (OSE) supports your job search and helps you build the behavioral skills employers want. You’ll be ready for recruiting—and ready to contribute on day one.
Leadership
Leadership is more than management—it’s about inspiring others to create meaningful change. Simon offers hands-on experience in a variety of areas to help transform you into a leader who drives results. Our leadership development program helps you assess your leadership style and capabilities while forming a personalized plan for growth. You’ll also engage with nearly a dozen industry-focused student clubs and organizations to solve real-world problems and grow alongside like-minded peers.
Make an Impact
Business can be a powerful force for the common good. At Simon, we’ll show you how to use your business skills to make an impact beyond the bottom line. Through service-based clubs, volunteer opportunities, and meaningful community partnerships, you’ll engage with real needs and broaden your perspective. These experiences help you reflect on the kind of leader you want to become—shaping your values not just for a semester, but for a lifetime.

Opportunities
The lessons you’ll learn at Simon won’t take place in the classroom alone. You’ll also apply your skills in the real world. Our Integrated Student Experience (ISE) encompasses both classroom and hands on learning with opportunities like our international immersions and treks; project based coursework that will have you working with real businesses; and case competitions that will challenge you to work with fellow students to analyze business issues, come up with creative solutions, and present your findings to a panel of experts.
