MBA students will find a new core curriculum that places greater focus on leadership and modeling and analytics this fall.
The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management is setting a new core curriculum that focuses on leadership and modeling and analytics. Cornell is also shifting the timing of the courses to better accommodate recruiting.
Specifically, leadership development will be a part of MBA students’ full two years at Johnson, beginning with a course called “Leading Teams” in August prior to the first year, continuing with “Critical and Strategic Thinking” in the second half of the fall semester, and culminating with “Principled Leadership” in the first half of the fall in the second year.To address the call for greater focus on modeling and analytics, the existing “Statistics” course will be redesigned into a course tentatively called “Data Analytics and Modeling,” to be taught by Professor Bill Schmidt.
The total number of credit hours in the second half of the fall semester will be reduced from 7.5 to 6.5, to lessen the workload when recruiting is in full swing.
