California’s University and Its History
Fall has officially has started and I don’t mean the season, although it is technically Fall as of September 21, 2006. High school graduates and fresh MBA are heading back to that wonderful place filled with curious minds and hungry venture capitalists.
The past week, September 12, 2006, the Los Angeles Times included a 36-page section titled, EDUCATION COMMEMORATIVE EDITION, celebrating ‘The path to learning.’ And yesterday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal’s ‘The Journal Report,’ the section concentrated on the Top Business Schools and the Recruiter’s MBA Picks. Both sections were contained a wide range of factual information worth reading.
The ranking of the top MBA universities were managed by Harris Interactive Business School (Year 6 for 2006). The first thing I did before going straight into the articles contained in the Wall Street Report was search for section explaining how the evaluations and ranking were done, because I didn’t want to bother reading inaccurate information. A section that explained how the evaluation were organized explained in good details.
Rather than finishing this blog, you should read the full-length articles yourself.
