Hi, in my first post I said I would talk about my experience with Weatherhead FT MBA program so far. Here is the low down.
Weatherhead has a modest MBA program for those who value more interaction and time with the professors. About 100-120 students are taken in each incoming year. The program requires a minimum of 57 credit hours to graduate. Like other MBA programs, the first year is required to take the core curriculum. Electives are taken in the second year. But you can adjust your schedule to your own pace. Weatherhead charges a flat tuition rate for full time. So you can take between 12 and 21 credit hours for the same bucks.
I think the Weatherhead program is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The quality of the professors is remarkable. One of my favorite professors is Prof. Richard Osborne, a feisty octogenarian, who has been recently voted the most favorite teacher by students. He teaches CEO leadership and entreprenuership. His classes are unconventional and require students to think out of the box to solve problems.
Weatherhead is renowned for its OB (Organizational Behavior) courses. Every student must take the core course LEAD in his/her first year. It is taught by Prof. Tony Lingham. The opinions for this class are sharply divided. Some students loved it, and the others felt skeptical. I feel that this class is more like a life philosophy. It is useful to plan for your long term career and family life.
That's it for now. I will talk more about Weatherhead MBA program in the next posts.
