Full-Time MBA
Elena Prager Headshot

A Simon education is analytical and quantitative, yes, but the technical material is not really the point. The point is  that Simon grads approach new problems with structured, disciplined thinking. Real-world problems don’t come with pre-structured, perfectly consistent data. A Simon education develops the analytical toolkit needed to reveal decision-relevant patterns in seemingly contradictory information.
