Tulane University Freeman School BLOG

Katerina and I started a bit later than the rest of the students, but this past week was our first week at our internship. We’re both working in the same area, and, in fact, the same office most of the time. We’re doing several projects jointly, which is great, because we can check each other’s […]

4) Why Tulane? What other schools were you considering and why did you, ultimately, decide on the Freeman School? What are the intangible qualities that you find make it the right fit for you?
4) Why Tulane? Honestly, I chose to go where I felt like I was getting the best deal. I […]

It’s that time of the week again. We have a new Social Chair! James did a great job and has handed off the hat (or half rack) to Liz who writes:
Hello!
My name is Liz Davis and I am the new VP of Social Activities. The Thursday night social this week will be […]

Lately, I have been bogged down with my job, the full-time MBA, this blog and ABOVE ALL (really), my endless search for the perfect internship. You have to get hungry if you want it to happen. No one, especially not the CMC, does it for you. The people that recruit on campus, thy spend lots […]

You know how all those job posts say, “detail-oriented,” “well-organized,” and so on?
Well there is a reason for it. And business school will show you. The average class I get 7 hand-outs per class. Many classes make us buy access to this worthless, stone age non-sense called study.net. It’s where you can buy digital versions […]

My posting’s been a little light recently but I’d like to welcome Will (whom you all met earlier in the week) who’s going to be keeping you up to date on the Tulane MBA from a different perspective than mine. This is a welcome change for everyone, including me, as the more opinions and […]

It’s very tempting for some to get lost in the grueling labor of study and forget that there is a world outside the business school at Tulane. In the MBA program all of your classes will be inside the graduate business building. If you like the gym… you’ll probably be over there some. I am […]

So, the graduate business building is brand new. The photos on the freeman website don’t do us justice, so I won’t link them. But, some of the print materials you’ll receive in the mail, if you contact us, will give you a great picture about what the new building is like. It’s awesome, because there […]

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 […]

So here is my recap of the first semester as short as possible:
We started out with a week of extreme orientation. We called it extreme orientation because the admissions office had us from 8 A.M. well into dinner time for a solid week. There were 70ish new faces and it was much like freshmen year […]
