The philosophy and approach of the Olin Business School Full-Time MBA program are derived from a few basic ideas:

The Full-Time MBA program is concerned with the preparation of students for managerial responsibilities. Good management, whether it is of a business, a governmental unit or a public or private nonprofit institution, requires individuals who have a broad grasp of the interrelated problems, functions and analytical tools of administration. A good manager, in contrast to a specialist, must have the ability to see problems, analyze them in their total setting and deal effectively with them.

Olin Business School is a professional school. As such, we expect a healthy degree of maturity from our students. Enrollment should be viewed by the students and faculty alike as a key step in a professional career. High standards for personal values must be reflected in all aspects of the school.

The first of these principles determines the type of curriculum that is offered; the second and third determine the attitudes that are an integral part of the relationship between faculty and students.
