そして、新たな必修科目群の特徴を説明しております。
The new core will place a stronger emphasis on leadership, modeling and analytics, and the timing of the courses will be adjusted to take into consideration today’s more intense recruiting environment.
<中略>
The new core curriculum seeks to address each of these issues. The most important change is to the way Johnson teaches leadership, which the new core will address in a more systematic fashion. There is now a consistent “two year picture” to leadership development, with Leading Teams in August prior to the first year, Critical and Strategic Thinking in the second half of Fall semester, and Principled Leadership in the first half of Fall in each student’s second year at Johnson. The combination of these three courses will replace Managing and Leading Organizations, which is now taught in the second half of the Spring semester in the first year.

Modeling was addressed by revamping Statistics to become Data Analytics and Modeling (though the name of this course may change). This course will be led by Professor Bill Schmidt, and will emphasize the modeling skills that alumni and recruiters have consistently said is in high demand.

Core Curriculumは、各スクールがMBA教育を提供する上での根幹部分として提供しています。「どのスクールも対して変わらないのでは?」と思われる前に、各校のカリキュラム内容を比較してみましょう。各校の教育方針に対する理解が一層のこと深まるのではないでしょうか。

【Essay Questions for Fall 2014】: Cornell (Johnson)

今シーズンにおけるエッセイ課題内容と、Admissions側の見解も同時に発表されています。
We chose to change our essays this year because after careful review of successful candidates, we found there are three main elements they addressed very well:
1) understood their value proposition because they knew how to answer difficult questions about their true intentions and understood what they look forward to in joining b-school,
2) we really like people that have made things happen for them showing they are self-driven and motivated and
3) those with focus and confidence in their career self-efficacy.

Essay #1 “Who you are”

We continue to ask the “chapter headings” essay because we really enjoy reading it and get great information about you that we cannot get anywhere else in the process, even the interview.

Ø  You are the author for the book of Your Life Story.  In 300 words or less please write the table of contents for the book.  Note: approach this essay with your unique style. We value creativity and authenticity.

Essay #2 “Who you turn out to be” 

Instructions:  Please answer the following three questions in abbreviated format. (Keep each answer in 150 words or less)

Ø  When did you decide that business school was the next step for you? (Was this an epiphany or an evolutionary process?  What was the catalyst that caused you to consider this next step?)

Ø  Johnson values people that make things happen for themselves.  Give an example of how you have initiated this for yourself.

Ø  Please describe your immediate post MBA career goals.
