We also invest in the intangible assets of developing leaders who can communicate professionally; work in teams; and approach business situations with integrity.
Baylor's curriculum is a 16 or 21-month commitment, specifically designed so students may attain their MBA degree at an accelerated pace without sacrificing academic quality. Three core semesters enable students to move through the core courses as a unit, creating a team approach to learning and camaraderie among class members.
Experiential learning is a significant component to the complete MBA education at Baylor. The adage is true: the best way to learn something is through practice.
Two specific examples of experiential learning in Baylor's MBA program are the Focus Firm and Practicum in Portfolio Management classes. Baylor MBA students participate in a corporate-alliance practicum known as the Focus Firm project, which is a semester-long project wherein they research, critically assess, and recommend viable solutions to an identified business dilemma for an actual business. Also, Baylor MBA students have a unique opportunity to engage in the exciting world of real dollar portfolio management and securities research by taking the Philip M. Dorr Alumni & Friends Investment Fund, which is a live fund, valued at more than $6 million, managed by select students in the portfolio management class.
