Simon MBA: More than a credential.
Every component of the Simon MBA was designed with your career goals in mind—small class sizes, an elite cohort, an analytics-based curriculum, and expert career coaching.
In addition, Simon is the only business school in the US with a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-designated option for each of its full-time MBA specializations. A STEM-designated MBA can help you stand out in the job market and gives international students the ability to extend their Optional Practical Training (OPT) for an additional 24 months, for a total of three years of US work eligibility without H1B sponsorship.
Earn an MBA that’s more than a credential in a community that’s small by design and intentional in its inclusiveness. In two years you’ll build your professional network and create lasting and meaningful relationships with peers, faculty, and staff. Those connections matter: 93% of the Class of 2018 accepted job offers within three months of graduation at leading employers such as Amazon, Accenture, Barclays, Citigroup, Deloitte, Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, PwC, and UBS.
