MBA - next generation

Many believe that the optimal age for MBA students - 26-30 years, and the statistics it until recently reaffirmed. And it's easy to explain, because in this age of the student already has a higher education, and has experience at least 3-4 years.

But recent studies have shown that the number of people wishing to get an MBA right after high school is growing rapidly.

Here, for example, Tom Starin does not fit the usual scope of MBA students, for the reason that he was 22 years and had, in comparison with other students of business schools, virtually no experience, except for summer practice. He is just a few months ago, received a diploma meteorologist from the University of Pennsylvania, with additional specialization in beznes strategy.

Despite all the cliches and rules, and that experience in senior positions has always been considered a prerequisite to learning the business, Tom has managed to surprise a selection committee of the School of Business Administration Simon (University of Rochester), and show good results at the time the test GMAT (710 points, with the necessary 650). But the most interesting thing was that no less important, as was baseball. No, it's not about to play for the university team, the fact that Mr. Olden has already had its own small business, and he concludes a very successful company. Nesting 2-3 thousand dollars of investment per year a student brought at least 3 4tysyach income. Tom cheaply bought cards depicting players and then selling them at an inflated price in the midst of the most interesting matches. "This guy has all the makings of a winner," - says Mark Zupan, dean of the Simon School. - An entrepreneurial flair, passion, creativity, self-confidence - all at it. "All this, in the firm belief Dean is far more important than the traditional experience of at least 4-5 years.

Ethics

The American pharmaceutical industry today is subject to criticism from NGOs for their active promotion of advertising is not the highest quality medications and repeated reviews of drugs from the market. In order to solve the problem of quality medicines, the program included three additional elective courses involving ethical foundations of pharmaceutical management. "Our graduates are actively promoted through the ranks and, consequently, they have similar problems do not arise. I hope they realize the full extent that they deal primarily with human lives. Their task is not only to create and promote quality medicine but also deal with products of poor quality "- says Hassan.

Graduates of the pharmaceutical MBA program should be able to correctly assess the reasonable limits of their professional activities. For example, they should know the price of animal life to create new drugs. "Our graduates have to kill animals in order to save lives. They should answer the following questions: Is the benefit of the community the most important goal in life? What you need to do? Justify the expectations of government and society imposed upon them. "

Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. today is on the verge of crisis, so biotech companies are very interested in graduates of Rutgers University. "The problem of pharmaceuticals has been a very long time and if nothing is done, the crisis is inevitable. Therefore, we need professionals who are able to plan the work of their units for long periods of time. To date, companies have such specialists - more of an exception to the rule. Here's to them we are preparing a cadre of professionals, "- says Hassan.
