This month we propose the 3 C's of deciding on a bu= siness school: Curriculum, Culture and Cost - consider all three when maki= ng your final decision about where you will matriculate next fall. Curric= ulum: Do the school's objectives meet yours as a student? Are the school's = professors teaching in such a way that complements your learning style? Ar= e the certificates or majors that are offered in sync with your career goa= ls? Are you free to take electives to get what you want out of business sc= hool? Hit the schools' websites here to read up on the differences. Cul= ture: The best way to understand a school's culture is to visit. Not an opt= ion? Try connecting with current students to learn first hand what it's li= ke to be a student. Ask about clubs, student involvement in decision-makin= g, classroom dynamics, and even what people do on Friday nights. These ans= wers will be clues for understanding the culture. Cost: Your first exercis= e as an admitted student: perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine if = the benefits you gain from business school outweigh the price tag of atten= ding. Don't forget to include the opportunity cost of not working in your = calculation.
