How Indiana's Kelly School Became No. 1 in MBA Satisfaction

I hold three degrees (BS, MBA & PhD) from the Kelly School and I'm proud of my alma mater for its recent accomplishment, but read the P&Q article and identify the specific changes they made to (1) focus on the student as an individual; (2) engage the student as a collaborator in his or her career management process; (3) provide mentored experiences; (4) advance the student's career.

The Otago MBA attends to these elements of programme design in the normal course of business: we deliver best value to our students.

Why MBA Programmes will Fail (Forbes)

"The need for wholistic MBAs -- MBA programs have become a collection of classes taught by experts in each field without a lot of integration among them. This leaves the student to figure out this integration on their own, or learn it in their corporate jobs. "Wholistic" teaching of business will require a breakdown of the current structure of business schools, which does not seem likely to happen anytime soon...."

We offer a fully-integrated program aimed at educating the whole person at the individual level.
