It is not a ranking, although I believe you will find the article that discusses the rankings in general, entitled, "Pulling Rank," does shed some light on the challenges that they pose for all business schools as well as MBA students and prospective candidates.
In my view, this special MBA section provides a relatively balanced view of the value of an MBA in 2003 and recognizes the unique challenges facing you as you graduate into an economy that has changed dramatically in a few short years.
One executive from a Toronto placement firm states: "students are recognizing that the MBA is not the diplomatic passport that takes them into the executive office....however; it certainly makes them more marketable then those who don't have their MBA."
The main message in this special edition is that the MBA still has great value, and continues to be one of the best assurances of a successful career, particularly, for those who attend business schools with strong brands and alumni networks, such as Ivey's.
While the economic outlook for the coming year does not indicate a quick turnaround, I hope that you will find the articles, "The class of 2002," and "Still worth it" encouraging. The individuals highlighted in these articles (including one of our own - Dan Benoit MBA '04) demonstrate that maintaining a positive attitude and being open to new career paths is critical.
The National Post issue also includes an interesting article on the case method of teaching. Although the article focusses on Harvard, it mirrors Ivey's approach to developing business leaders. While it's unfortunate that National Post did not choose to include Ivey in this article, I believe it will be a useful tool we can use in recruiting students to Ivey and helping others understand what makes Ivey's graduates unique.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
