Networking, student support, and job opportunities can all be impacted by the size of a business school.
The article from Fortune discusses the varying class sizes of top MBA programs and their implications for students and schools. It highlights that while some elite MBA programs like Harvard Business School maintain large class sizes to foster a diverse and extensive network, others like Stanford Graduate School of Business opt for smaller cohorts to enhance personalized learning and community feel. The piece explains how class size can affect the educational experience, networking opportunities, and the overall value of the MBA degree. Larger classes can offer more resources, a broader alumni network, and potentially more prestigious brand recognition, but might dilute individual attention. Conversely, smaller classes provide more faculty interaction, tailored education, and a tighter-knit community, though they might limit the breadth of networking opportunities. The article also touches on how schools are adapting their class sizes in response to market demands, educational trends, and the need to balance quality with quantity in their MBA offerings.
