Overview
University of Maryland
Robert H. Smith School of Business
These uncertain times require a new breed of business leader, one who can make sense out of complexity, cope with uncertainty, and drive innovation in an organization, all within the new paradigm of corporate social responsibility and social value creation.
The Smith School’s MBA program helps to create these new leaders. The full-time MBA program was ranked No. 20 in the U.S. by the Financial Times in 2009. The part-time MBA program was ranked No. 16 by U.S. News & World Report (2009).
The Financial Times also ranked the Smith School No. 12 in the world for research. The school is ranked No. 3 in intellectual capital in Business Week’s 2008 survey of “The Best B-Schools,” meaning that Smith MBAs benefit from the kind of scholarship offered at only a handful of elite institutions.
The Smith School recognizes the need for understanding and innovating business practices that make both social change and profit. Recently, the school had the distinct honor of induction into the elite Global Business School Network (GBSN) for its efforts to create the next generation of leaders in low-income countries. The school also features an active Net Impact chapter, as well as coursework and extra curricular activities that recognize the transformative power of business to address today’s global challenges. In September 2009, the school will launch its innovation new Center for Social Value Creation, providing opportunities for business students to discover their core values and create a vision for change.
The Smith School is located just outside of Washington, D.C in a region offering one of the highest concentrations of culture, diversity and career opportunities in the country. The newest benefactor of such an ideal position is Smith’s Center for Financial Policy and Corporate Governance, which develops thought leadership in financial policy that impacts corporate performance, capital allocation and the stability of the global financial system.
Smith MBAs gain real-world experience through the MBA Consulting Program, which exposes students to management issues by assigning MBA teams as consultants. The Mayer Fund gives hands-on experience in securities analysis and portfolio management to a select group of Smith MBAs. And, as associates in the New Markets Growth Fund (a $50-million venture capital fund), students develop financial investment models and identify new opportunities.
The Office of Career Management (OCM) provides dedicated, professional support to help students launch their careers. OCM links students directly to recruiters through a variety of services, including on- and off-campus recruitment and the online resume database, which matches a Smith MBA to the right industry position.
