Please contact Dan Struble. I am a retired Navy Captain (O-6) with an MBA (not a Simon MBA) as a POC who can speak "military-ese". My e-mail is dan.struble@simon.rochester.edu and my office number is (585) 275-2515/1558. I am readily available to talk to any military member (current or former) about Simon, benefits of an MBA or any topic of interest.

Tuition for 2006-2007 is $1301 per credit hour. The full-time MBA annual cost is $39030.
Description of Learning Environment for Students:
Small Size. Simon prides itself in being the smallest top tier M.B.A. program, with an enrollment of approximately 800 full-time and part-time M.B.A. and M.S. students. The full-time graduating class of 2009 has approximately 165 students, which provides intentionally small core and elective classes and facilitates a highly interactive learning process between fellow classmates and professors.
Selective Admission and Diverse Students. Applicants are chosen for their potential to make contributions to business, as well as the diversity of their personal and professional backgrounds. International students comprise approximately 40% of each entering full-time class, making Simon one of the most culturally diverse among leading U.S. graduate business programs. This creates a dynamic learning environment, and dramatically impacts how students learn about the global marketplace.
Economics-Based Approach and Cross-Functional Curriculum. The common thread of economics allows students and faculty to share ideas and solve problems based on mutually understood methods and terminology. Faculty members teach students that most organizational problems incorporate finance, accounting, operational, strategic and marketing issues; thereby students learn to look at issues from numerous vantage points and come to fully understand fundamental concepts.
Leadership Development. We work closely with our students on gauging and then developing their individual leadership capabilities. As testament to our success, Simon graduates are both highly sought after by corporate recruiters and distinguished by their capacity to effect change-within Fortune 500 firms or through the successful establishment of entrepreneurial ventures.
Teamwork. We emphasize group work allowing each student to benefit from the quality and diverse cultural and business backgrounds of their classmates. We also foster a strong partnership between students, faculty and staff in the learning enterprise.
Through projects, hands-on experiential learning and rigorous quantitative training, our students gain everything they need to step out of the Simon School and into the fast-paced action of the business world. Full-time M.B.A. students:
