Wisconsin MBA
Wisconsin is at the forefront of graduate business education, with a unique center-based MBA program. The mission of the Wisconsin MBA is to be the school of choice for students who have a clear career objective. Its focus is on creating business experts with an instant edge, to put graduates on the path to leadership and long-term career advancement.
The MBA program combines the breadth of a great core curriculum with the depth of expertise in a critical career specialization, such as Corporate Finance and Investment Banking. Why is the specialized MBA approach taken by the Wisconsin MBA gaining national recognition? Because, such programs according to BusinessWeek, "give students the kind of targeted, real-world experience sometimes lacking in traditional MBAs."
Wisconsin MBA faculty are among the most accomplished scholars in the field of business education. They seek answers to the questions of the day and share those answers immediately with students in the classroom. Because of their expertise, our faculty are highly sought after as advisors by other universities, businesses and governments. For example, Toni M. Whited, an associate professor of finance, won the top award for co-authoring the best paper published on corporate finance in the Journal of Finance in 2005.
The commitment to excellence extends far beyond the School of Business. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has become synonymous with excellence in higher education. It consistently ranks among the top five universities in the United States for funded research. Its nationally ranked departments in engineering, law, economics, medicine, psychology and statistics offer particular opportunities for MBA students.
The bottom line is Nicholas students benefit from the many resources available in a world-class public research institution while still receiving intensive individual attention from the Nicholas Center for Corporate Finance and Investment Banking.
