What sets Smith apart from other top MBA programs? Its students. Smith MBAs are grounded in business and management principles, yet understand how to leverage change in today's technology-driven marketplace. With an MBA curriculum that combines classroom learning with experiential projects, Smith MBAs have the knowledge, skills, and flexibility to perform well within an increasingly dynamic enterprise. But it is the culture and life outside of the classroom that truly defines the Smith experience. Among the thousands of applicants every year, the few who are selected to participate in the program are truly brilliant, inspirational professionals.

Smith students are active both in and outside of the classroom. Smith MBAs foster a sense of community for sharing ideas, experiences and perspectives. Student input is important and valued. Whether it's the creation of a new class that addresses an emerging industry topic or offering outreach efforts to an incoming class‚ Smith students are involved in planning and implementation. It is this ownership and stewardship for the program that defines the Smith experience and prepares Smith MBAs to be active leaders for the digital economy.
