The 2nd year has started!!!

Yesterday was the first day of school. I ran into many classmates. Everyone looked exhausted after the summer long internship. I had Finance II and sat in for International Finance. The hours are from 6pm to 10pm for these two classes. I like International Finance which covers the history of the formation of post WWII global finance system. It sucks that the class is from 8pm to 10pm. And the next day I have class from 10am til 8pm.

Back to Cleveland

I'm back to Cleveland. I landed on Tuesday. I sucks without a car. I had to take the RTA which is not bad at all.

Cleveland is in the 90's. It was sweltering hot on the day I landed. My room isn't quite ready yet, so my landlord put me up in another room.

Yesterday I finished moving my belongings to the basement in the new house.

I am looking forward to finishing my MBA degree by December.

More to come. Gotta go now. I need to update my resume.

Guest Speaker Events

I want to invite guest speakers to talk in the marketing club guest speaker events. Anyone volunteer? I will pay you a night of hotel and two nice meals, plus the plane ticket to fly you in from out of town.

Give it a thought.

Weatherhead Full Time MBA Program

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.
