Tulane University Freeman School BLOG

Good thing? Maybe… For most though, it just added a bunch of stress. Tulane really has 3 full time concentrations:

Management (which apparently has several different titles) – I have heard it called “strategy and leadership,” “strategy and entrepreneurship,” “strategic management” ….zZzZz

Consumer Behavior – A.K.A.Marketing. I haven’t taken any of these courses, but I have met the professors and they are all really, really interesting and very cordial. I did take the intro class from Yiorgos Bakamitsos, who was awesome.

Then there is the big pull, which is finance. 60% of the students graduate with a finance concentration. We have a great finance program. Burkenroad and Dawin-Fenner are world-class programs. Find out more.

Anyways. I plan to go further into all of these and my investigation into them, but for now what’s important to know is that: in the first semester, they pick everything for you. In the second semester you have to have picked a concentration if you want one. Finally, you don’t actually have to concentrate. Yiorgos, who is a great professor, told me the first time I visited that the MBA is about diversifying knowledge. I am taking classes in what interests me. That means some marketing, a lot of specialized finance, and the core. I will not have a concentration, but I think an MBA is already specialized.

That being said, a lot of guys want the finance degree and need it for the jobs they want. So, there is something for everyone. Also important are the MFIN program and Masters of Accounting. As I said earlier this week the accounting professors are my favorite so far and I hate accounting. The professor makes the class. More tomorrow!
