How many B-Schools can say they offer the experience of crossing a bridge over a waterfall on the way to class? At Cornell, students literally and figuratively cross bridges alongside their close-knit and supportive community. “We aim to produce team-players with strong leadership skills,” former Associate Dean Vishal Gaur says. “Over the years we have developed the Four Cs framework for leadership: character, compassion, courage, and competence.” There are three guiding principles at Johnson that students can expect to encounter throughout the entirety of their MBA experience – one being the value of a solid education in all key business functions, including marketing, finance, human resources, and production. The second is the importance of strong analytical and decision-making skills. The last focuses on offering the greatest flexibility in tailoring individual curriculum.
