Most challenging achievements and the future
The key challenge is to continue to provide a business education that is durable and yet offers the students the best start in a business career. We meet this challenge by a process of continuous improvement of our curriculum and pedagogy. In the last two years we have re-formulated our core course sequences to prepare our students better for internships, introduced Experience Simon Modules, in which leading practitioners and managers to train our students in an innovative short module format, offered intensive business communication courses that closely tied to organization management, enhanced the experiential and participatory learning in our courses, and starting in the 2012-13 academic year we are adopting a new calendar that moves up the academic year to provide our students with more classes before starting an internship.
