研究University of Rochester--Simon School of Business 之水帖

乱世青蛙

William E.Simon，曾经在任的财政部长（福特和尼克松时期的美国财政部长）的精神长存于西蒙商学院。在这里，Simon的关于自由市场能给商务问题以最好的解决方法的观点被如信条一样传输给学生。他认为：每一个商务决定，不论它涉及到finance，marketing, organizational behavior或opertions,都可以用微观经济学(micro economics)来解释，这一思想已渗透到学校的每一门课中去了。除了芝加哥大学，没有哪一所商学院更坚持自由市场，或价值理论。

A History of Remarkable Achievement
　　The University of Rochester started a small business program in 1958, and awarded its first M.B.A. degree in 1962, but the School’s impact in the business world can really be traced to a later decision by then University President W. Allen Wallis to create a first-class business school in Rochester. In 1964, he recruited as dean a visionary who believed in the power of economics to solve a host of problems.
　　William H. Meckling—who would remain dean for 19 years—was already a noted economist when he arrived in Rochester, best known for his analysis and leadership in support of an all-volunteer U.S. armed service. As dean, he committed the School to an economics-based approach to problem solving, recruited a first-rate faculty, required that all research at the School have an empirical orientation, initiated new finance and accounting journals that incorporated economics, eliminated traditional boundaries between functional departments, and transformed what had been a small, undergraduate and evening business school into a leading graduate business program.
　　As a result of pioneering work by Meckling and Michael C. Jensen, one of the talented young faculty members he recruited, and groundbreaking work by other faculty members, the School became known for making enormous contributions in the critical areas of finance, accounting and organizational theory. The faculty’s contributions, in turn, helped shape the research agenda of a generation of business scholars around the globe, influencing teaching in graduate business programs and forever changing how many companies and executives in this country and abroad conduct business.
　　In 1986, another milestone in the School’s history occurred when the School was renamed the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration. William E. Simon, a financial entrepreneur and former U.S. Treasury Secretary, believed strongly in the principles and ideals of the School. He offered not only his name, but also an enduring financial commitment to the School’s continued success. He chaired the Executive Advisory Committee from its inception in 1986 until his death in June 2000.
　　Today, the School flourishes and thrives as a leading business school, offering both the highest quality business education and cutting-edge research by an internationally renowned faculty.

说实话，学校是个好学校，Finance2010年排名全美第13名。但是实习和找工作不方便。对于咱们中国申请人而言，MBA学费很贵的。Simon给的奖学金比较少。我看论坛上报过最多的奖金就是17500刀了。不知道这个是1年的还是2年的。就算是1年17500刀，也不多啊。Simon的tuition and living expense一年差不多要66000刀。如果还要上language and culture的课程的话，还要加6000多刀呢。总之，读出来要100万人民币的。如果能进入一个大的公司，有global pay的话，倒可以很快还上学费。如果毕业了回国进入国企的话，就挂了，要多久才能换上学费呢。哎，太纠结了。。。。。。。。。。。。。大家讨论讨论吧，别光看不发表言论。Each airs his own view~~~讨论一下。

我也申了这个学校，开始因为essay很好写。。。学校的确是好学校，但貌似地理位置确实很弊端阿，上次面别的学校人家听我说申了SIMON，还奉劝我好好想想，因为真的是being in the middle of nowhere...

不建议申请，跟几个在美国上本科和MBA的朋友（都是TOP学校）聊，基本反馈是没怎么听说过这个学校。这个学校基本是中国人炒起来的，再广泛点说，是亚洲人炒起来的

一家之言，无意冒犯Simon的粉丝，只是为了给个参考意见
