- About Simon
Simon is an exciting place to study and grow. It is a place where thinkers become leaders, a place where the thirst for knowledge fuels our desire for distinction. We are committed to educating business leaders who are analytical and creative thinkers, as well as effective team players. Simon prepares students with these outstanding features, including:
The Simon School’s highly integrated approach to management education sets it apart from all other graduate business programs. With Simon’s strong cross-functional curriculum grounded in economics, students 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 classroom, that students learn the invaluable repertoire of proven business practices and tools that can be applied to a myriad of different situations.
We have a renowned faculty widely considered to be one of the finest in the world. They have founded and continue to edit over eight academic journals, including the highly regarded Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Monetary Economics and the Journal of Accounting & Economics. They share this groundbreaking research with our students on a daily basis.
We emphasize group work allowing each student to benefit from the quality and diverse cultural and business backgrounds of their classmates.
Simon provides an integrated approach to thinking about management problems and a better understanding of the interactive nature of business decisions. In addition to honing analytical skills, we teach effective writing and persuasive oral presentation techniques that ensure success throughout our students careers.
We work closely with our students on assessing and then developing their individual leadership capabilities. As testament to our success, Simon graduates are both highly sought after by corporate recruiters and distinguished by their capacity to affect change within Fortune 500 firms or through the successful establishment of entrepreneurial ventures.
"Simon students tend to be strong analytically and very articulate, confident in a good way, and they embrace diversity. But what sticks out the most about our Simon hires is how well prepared they are for careers in business"
