Cornell Revamps Its Two-Year MBA Program

MORE CHANGES TO COME IN QUANT COURSES

All the changes impact only the latest cohort of 284 students who entered the the two-year MBA program on the Ithaca, N.Y., campus this past fall–and not either the one-year MBA program there or in New York City which enrolled its first class of 39 MBA students last May.

“The next big change will be in improving more of the quantitative elements in the core, including a revamped stats course and finance course, using more statistical tools in quant courses,” says Gaur. “This is still under way. We also are now adding new modules that put MBA students together in the classroom with engineering students. This is still in the works.”
