Most classes meet for one hour and thirty minutes, twice a week, Monday through Thursday. Friday is usually left free for group meetings and job search activities. Faculty inform students at the beginning of the semester of the grading policy for each course. Owen does not force a distribution of grades. Because Owen's academic standards are high, transfer credits and exemption are rare.
Consideration is handled on an individual basis.
Approaches to Learning Professors use case studies, lectures, in-class activities, student presentations, and company projects to help students master important material. A significant portion of the Owen MBA program requires working effectively with other people. Courses that use group work emulate real-world situations and teach students how to manage delegation, conflict, and feedback to improve the team process. Curriculum Planning Course planning and career planning are completely integrated at the Owen School. The Office of Admissions and Career Management Center encourage students to take a well-rounded set of electives outside of their primary field of study.
