The University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business has announced a new concentration for the Full-Time MBA (FTMBA) degree program. The Data and Business Analytics Concentration is designed for MBA students who are looking to hone their analytical skills to develop data-driven business strategies and recommendations.

The new concentration will be offered beginning in fall 2018 and is the first to launch under the leadership of Associate Dean of Full-Time and Global MBA Programs Brad Killaly. The FTMBA program began developing the concentration in 2017 after receiving feedback from students who desired a more specialized concentration focused on big data.

We’ve developed the Data and Business Analytics Concentration to meet the needs of today’s MBA student as well as today’s evolving business world,” said Killaly. “As students continue to seek careers in data-intensive industries, such as consulting and technology, Michigan Ross will offer the necessary business acumen that students can utilize to give themselves a competitive edge.”

Students are required to take courses from a  wide array of options, including big data management, marketing research, marketing engineering, advanced big data analysis, data mining, digital marketing, mobile innovation development, and information econometrics.

In an era in which analytics can make or break company success, employers are increasingly seeking workers who understand and utilize  business analytics. With this concentration, the FTMBA Program Office is partnering closely with the Career Development Office to ensure MBA students are prepared with the necessary skill set to manage one of today’s most important business issues.

We are excited to introduce the new data and business analytics concentration to the Michigan Ross FTMBA Program,” said Heather Byrne, Director of the Michigan Ross Career Development Office. “Companies want individuals who can lead their organizations using data and thinking analytically. Our goal is to prepare students to explore career options in which they can apply these skills, and help companies source exceptionally-qualified talent.”

Michigan Ross also has MBA concentrations in Business and Sustainability and Healthcare Management, a certificate in Real Estate Development, a Fast Track in Finance, and the Tauber Institute program in operations.

これからの時期は学校リサーチに取り掛かっていくことになりますが、各校のカリキュラム上の強み(利点)を把握するためにも、最初の段階として各校がオファーするConcentrationを対比するところから始めてみてはいかがでしょうか?

出願に関する注意点等を共有させていただきます。

  • To be included in a specific round, applications must be complete and submitted by 23:59pm French time on the day of the deadline.
  • Competition for each round is equal regardless of the intake or round you apply for. We review the pool of applications submitted within each round independently, keeping the “offer ratio” (percentage of candidates accepted vs. applications received) fairly constant across all rounds. By “Class” we are referring to the entire population of students beginning the INSEAD MBA programme at the same time (regardless of campus location).
  • Campus choice is not taken into account when evaluating whether to accept or decline candidates. We will strive to accommodate your campus choice, but if your preferred campus is full, you will be offered the choice of either a place on the other campus or a place on the waitlist for your preferred campus.

GMAT:学力判定試験
Please arrange to have Pearson Vue submit your GMAT test scores directly to INSEAD, code DL3-S8-89. You can take the GMAT up until the day of the application deadline, in this case a copy of your unofficial score report (to be uploaded under “supporting documents” before you submit your application form) is sufficient for us to begin evaluating your file. GMAT scores are valid for five years prior to the application deadline to which you are applying.

NB: In countries where the GMAT test is not offered, we will accept a GRE test instead. Similarly, a GRE test is acceptable for prospective students looking to follow the Dual Degree path. The ETS code for the GRE is 0970.

English Proficiency :英語力判定試験
While we do not have a minimum score required for admission, we advise candidates to aim for a score at or above:

TOEFL IBT: 105; TOEIC (all four parts are required): Listening and Reading: 950TOEIC Writing: 170TOEIC Speaking: 190; IELTS Academic: 7.5

Q. よく受験生からは、「学校側が要求するスコア(minimum score)に達していない場合でも出願して大丈夫ですか?」という問い合わせを受けます。

A. その問い合わせに対して学校側が回答をHPに掲載しています。
http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/graduate-program/llm-admissions-faq/#faq-3-3

A. Yes, your application will still be reviewed. However, you will be at a significant disadvantage compared to the other applicants whose TOEFL scores do meet Harvard Law School’s required minimum. Please note that you may retake the TOEFL and send updated scores after the application deadline has passed.

上記のretake the TOEFL and send update scores after the application deadline has passedの行為を受験生間では「スコアの差し替え」と呼びますが、ではこれがいつまで受け付けてもらえるか、こうした明確な回答がウェブ上に掲載されていない時には、出願者の個々の判断に拠ります。

当然のことながら、スコアの差し替えを必要としないように出願戦略を立て、実行していくものの、思い描いた通りに事が進まないこともあります。「少し準備が遅れ気味だけど・・・」という感覚を覚えた折にはそのまま見過ごすことなく、もう一度自らの計画を見直してください。
