About The Thoughtful Leader
Are you considering a graduate business degree, and don't know where to start? Maybe you're eager to compare careers you can pursue with an MS in Finance? Or maybe you need tips for building a strong network during b-school? And what's the deal with MBA rankings and the GMAT?
Luckily, we’ve got answers! Welcome to The Thoughtful Leader, the Knauss School of Business' official blog for those considering a graduate business degree.
Here, we share insights and tips exclusively for the next wave of graduate business students. We offer advice from admission staff, students, alumni and professors on the journey to business school, stories of what it's like as a student, and glimpses into careers afterward. We also touch on relevant forces that are reshaping jobs and the future of work.
Understanding your program options is a critical first step. So we share insider knowledge about MBA formats such as Full-Time MBA, Part-Time MBA and Flex MBA, as well as specialized master's in Accounting/Taxation, Business Analytics, Finance, Real Estate and Supply Chain Management.
We want to help you explore the best path to a fulfilling career, but our mission doesn't stop there. We believe it's also critical to understand ethical and sustainable business practices, to learn to lead with values, and to create or advance enterprises that serve the common good. We call this approach "business for good." For this reason, you'll also find articles covering topics such as:
- The triple bottom line (people, profit and planet) framework,
- How to build sustainable supply chains and prioritize corporate social responsibility,
- The rise of social impact consulting, and much more.
We hope you will find this blog helpful. If you are interested in exploring a graduate degree at the Knauss School of Business, we look forward to connecting with you.
