Like other AMBAs, I have been pretty happy with the coursework in
This flexible integration of coursework with real-world projects is something that truly makes the Johnson School program worth while. Everything from writing a B-plan to product pricing can be addressed through courses here.

As I plan for my graduation in May I have been bombarded by emails from prospective students who currently face the tough decision of choosing an MBA school. I have been pretty happy with the program so far. Since, I have been asked by many prospective students, to list the changes I hope are done in the program, I am listing the two things I really hope are taken into consideration by Johnson School in the coming years.
First, it’s about providing specific courses for AMBAs during winter break. There are tons of club activities and events one can participate and learn from leadership roles. But I personally feel that there is no substitutes for courses offered in Johnson school. The faculty is really awesome and it's sad if one misses out on some of the unique courses offered by world-class faculty.
