Shinwoo introduced new ideas from class at work right away. "Fundamentals give you a way to think through the problem when there’s no quick answer."

A Typical Day - London

Executive MBA class sessions meet Monday through Saturday on class weeks held roughly once a month. Students expertly balance class sessions with demanding jobs, family life, and personal interests. A student's typical experience on a class day might go something like this:

8:30 a.m. - Arrive at the Europe campus, located in the heart of London's financial district; mingle with classmates in the lounge over breakfast.

9 a.m. - Attend class. The lecture is enlivened with comments from students who add fresh perspectives from different countries and industries.

10:30 a.m. - Class breaks right on time, which allows a chance to check e-mail from work. Nothing urgent needs your attention, so you join your classmates in the lounge for coffee.

11 a.m. - Morning class resumes

Noon - At lunch break, you attend an optional review session and enjoy lunch in a nearby pub.

1 p.m. - After lunch, your study group convenes.

3 p.m. - Attend the afternoon class session

4 p.m. - On break, call your office voice mail and your spouse

6 p.m. - This week you don't need to attend the optional review session after class, so you meet with your study group; after an hour or two of discussion, order pizza

If it's Saturday, students celebrate the end of the session by going out for dinner and drinks, and then hit one of London's famous night spots.
