Business schools reach out to veterans
Many businesses seem to be catching on to the value of veterans in their workforce, and now it appears business schools are doing the same.
According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, America’s business schools are working hard to recruit former service members into their MBA programs. Part of your appeal? Leadership skills, teamwork and the ability to bring an alternate perspective to the classroom, said school administrators.
These schools are also putting their money where their mouths are, offering scholarships and joining the Yellow Ribbon program to help offset the high cost of earning an MBA. That cost can reach upwards of $150,000 for two years at a top-ranked school, according to the Journal article.
