MBA program teaching methods may vary across MBA programs in the US (e.g., some programs are known for their use of the lecture method, the case method, business simulations, or directed study, while others emphasize experiential approaches, such as field studies, MBA consulting projects, etc.). However, students should expect to be exposed to a variety of methods regardless of the school they choose, including class lectures, case studies, business simulations, directed studies, group and project work, and consulting projects. Moreover, within the MBA program, students will experience a range of pedagogical approaches appropriate to specific disciplines or fields of study (e.g. business simulations in finance versus case studies in marketing). Co-op work terms and international exchanges may also be combined with any of the above approaches.
