A Day in the Life of a First Year MBA Marketing Student

8:00 – 8:30 am: Wake up! As the first year progresses, you get to pick more and more of your classes and set your own schedule. I like to schedule my first class for 9:40 am. It allows me to keep my usual late hours, but I still get to school at a decent time to maximize the day.

9:05 am: If it’s really cold or there’s some sort of precipitation, this is the time when I rush down to the bus stop. If not, I’ll ride my bike.

9:20 am: Arrive at school, put my lunch in one of our handy refrigerators, and drop my extra gear in my locker.

9:40 am: Head to Class! Today in Strategy we’re discussing Blue Ocean Strategy and the latest Capstone results. Capstone is a computer simulated business competition and one of the final deliverables of the class. Working with our assigned teams of 4 to 5 students, we are running a sensor company with stiff competition – our classmates and the computer.
