Introduction to the MBA

This is a tutorial-like presentation of the MBA In A Day session.  An invited speaker will give an overview of the title subject, who, tentatively, is faculty member from a regional business school.

The session will be of interest to those who want to learn about MBA programs and content: Those who may be considering enrolling in an MBA program, those who want to understand the type of information that is covered in an MBA program, and those who would benefit from having an overview of the content of a typical MBA program, for example. The speakers are subject matter experts who will take into account the interests and background of chemical engineers in the way that they present the information.   The average student who is enrolled in an MBA program has six years of experience and is 29 years old.  Students with engineering or science backgrounds comprise 35 to 40% of MBA programs.  As a consequence, the session will be highly of interest to young professionals.

James J. Frick is Director, Masters Admissions, in the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
