A Model for Success

Our bi-coastal curriculum draws on the strengths and locations of two top business schools. Visiting CEOs offer perspectives from Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and program activities take you inside the two thriving economies of New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. The result? You’re prepared to be a leader in any situation.

Teaming with Leaders
Many of the classes and associated projects are based on a team construct. One of the key aspects of this program is your study group. You are initially assigned teams, but regrouping after the second term allows you to get to know more people in depth and to mesh a new combination of individual strengths

Working together on course assignments, you and your classmates benefit from the leadership of each person—from mid-level professionals to executives.

Focusing your Energies
Challenging electives and independent study build on a solid core of rigorous general management courses. Your professors update elective courses regularly to reflect the newest ideas, trends and thinking, and they combine innovative theory and real-world experience to deliver a dynamic business education.

Throughout the curriculum, faculty members use a variety of teaching methods. Case studies, seminars, simulations, guest speakers and group projects all facilitate the learning process. Classroom learning is enhanced by numerous opportunities to apply the lessons to real-world situations.
