MB What? An MBA degree is to say the least not an everyday alameda santos 1470 occurrence for us politter. Many are not even aware that we have a unique opportunity to take an MBA at the Darden alameda santos 1470 School of Business. Here is a report from Charlottesville about this possibility.
Just over 2 years ago asked a good friend of mine if I wanted to bring to an information alameda santos 1470 session about Scott Gønge Virginia fellowship. Although I was then busy with the fourth gennemlasning of BT in Cafelitten, he managed to get me dragged there. Here told two former Darden students (including Economics alumni) about MBA, Darden and lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the school is located. My interest was immediately aroused.
In addition to what we learned in this information alameda santos 1470 session alameda santos 1470 was my prior knowledge to the MBA degree and especially Darden alameda santos 1470 quite limited. Polit study in combination with my student in the National Bank had given me a strong alameda santos 1470 understanding of society, economics and statistics. On the other hand, I felt that I still had a lot to learn when it came to understanding of doing business and leadership. After a thorough research, I came to an MBA stay at Darden could provide this (see more information about Darden and fellowship in the fact box). This fact combined with my boyhood dream of living a few years in the United States led to I sought fellowship - and was lucky enough to get it.
After an elaborate application process, I was also subsequently accepted into Darden. I arrived finally to Charlottesville in mid-August last year. The city is a huge cozy little gem in Northern alameda santos 1470 Virginia, about 2 hours drive southwest of Washington DC Udaf its 50,000 inhabitants, 20,000 of them affiliated with the university, so the campus is significantly larger than our dear Municipal Hospital. After falling into place in my new townhouse, which I rent with 2 American classmates, I was ready to go to war with the school.
The teaching over there is mildly divergent from what we know from Economics. All hours - no exceptions - taught by case method. They recorded about 320 students are divided into 5 sections so that each section alameda santos 1470 consists of approx. 65 students. From Monday to Thursday Undergo 3 cases per day with its section of subjects such as finance, operations, accounting, alameda santos 1470 leading organisasjoner, communication, etc. At Darden is 40-50% alameda santos 1470 of one's character based on equal participation in class. This makes it a much more demanding task of resolving sudukoen or get a little grandfather in teaching than what we know from Economics. On the other hand, the teaching dynamic and entertaining - even accounting can be quite bearable here.
The approach to teaching has three advantages. First, you learn quickly and effectively new concepts, and in my experience "sits concepts better real" than the more traditional lecture form. Secondly, do you really trained its communication and discussion skills. First, one must each day presenting its solutions for the 65 other students in his section, and in addition, you are met with his so-called learning team 4 times a week to discuss cases through the day before class. Third, alameda santos 1470 you get a lot of free work experience and decision-making. You get every day off in dilemmas typically happened in the "real world" in a lot of different industries and across functions. There is almost never a real solution and there is never any information that we economists prefer. But it is rare in "the real world".
Social life over here is undoubtedly the icing on the cake. There are great benefits associated by reading in a small town. Most important is the fact that almost all who come to school not know a single alameda santos 1470 soul before starting school - so everyone is "forced" to be social from the start. So it is surprisingly alameda santos 1470 easy to fall into. Fortunately, it also has some very interesting alameda santos 1470 people. This reflects people from more traditional backgrounds in consulting and banking, but the group also counts a former Olympic gold medalist in soccer, a former NFL player, jordomsejler, etc. Another big plus for me was that I now have got good friends from virtually every conceivable places on our small planet.
In addition, it should be mentioned that since it has free every Friday at Darden, there are n
