After all, Simon places a 鈥渉eavy emphasis on quantitative analysis and economics.鈥 On top of that, the school operates on a 鈥渢en-week quarter system鈥 so classes 鈥渕ove very quickly.鈥
Many MBAs are drawn to the program due to the school鈥檚 high ranking finance and accounting departments. Fortunately, while it鈥檚 definitely a 鈥渜uant school,鈥 Simon still manages to foster a 鈥渧ery collaborative environment.鈥 As a very happy second-year adds, 鈥淚 get the sense that I鈥檓 not only building a strong professional network once I graduate, but a whole new set of friends.鈥
Additionally, Rochester MBAs are privy to 鈥渢op-notch鈥 professors who frequently demonstrate 鈥減rogressive way[s] of approaching and solving problems.鈥 Simon instructors are also 鈥渋ncredibly knowledgeable in their fields and a source of invaluable information, mainly in the realms of finance and economics.鈥 And they tend to go 鈥渙ut of their way to ensure students are grasping the material.鈥 Indeed, they are 鈥渨illing to meet outside of class to cover any material [with which] you are having difficulty.鈥 As a pleased first-year MBA explains, 鈥淎ll of them have responded to inquiries I鈥檝e made outside of class rapidly and, due to the small class sizes, they quickly recognize you and get to know you as a student.鈥 MBAs here also happily report that the administration is equally 鈥渆ngaged鈥 and 鈥渁lert to [student] interest and concerns.鈥
