STUDENT LIFE OVERVIEW

In a program built around mutual support and teamwork, the students become part of a community, fostering cooperation rather than competition as they work together. Alumni talk of the comradery they felt, partly because they were not ranked against each other, but also because of the small class size--average graduating class size is fifty. Students also enjoy a close association with the faculty which contributes greatly to their success in the program and after graduation. It is not uncommon to walk the halls of the Tanner Building and find faculty and students sharing their views on management issues in a spirit of open collaboration.
