MBA Student Pre-Program And Post-Program Assessments Of Critical Skills: Implications For Outcomes Assessment And Curriculum Design

Abstract

At the time of matriculation, MBA students were surveyed concerning how important several skills and areas of knowledge were to them. The students were also surveyed immediately after graduation, and asked how successful the program was in developing these skills and areas of knowledge. This work presents results of three recent years of the survey data, and discusses its potential to contribute to the important areas of curriculum design, outcomes assessment, and program promotion.
