Drucker Experience Summer Program

The admission process for business schools is very competitive, and at The Drucker School it is no different – we get numerous applications every year. However, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse classroom setting, which means we welcome many students who don’t have a prior background in business. That’s why we created this summer program. It brings these students together and prepares them for rigors of an MBA program. This special summer program is not offered anywhere else, and it’s a great way to get started.

The summer bridge program will run from June 11th to August 27th, 2009, and includes:

• GMAT preparatory classes conducted by Kaplan Education Services
  June 11-July 9, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00-9:30 pm
• One MBA course credit - Economics of Strategy with Professor Jay Prag
  July 14-August 27, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00-10:00 pm
• Priority consideration for Fall admission and additional institutional aid upon retaking the GMAT

You will work directly with our faculty, who are successfully continuing the work of Peter F. Drucker, “the father of modern management.” So, in addition to teaching traditional business, our faculty focus on values-based management training and the human factor of successful organizations, meanwhile, opening doors for creative dialogue in an empowering think-tank environment.

Our school is ranked 5th in the nation for Best Faculty by the Princeton Review, and Net Impact ranked the school #8 in its ranking of MBA programs that prepare students to be ethical and socially responsible leaders.

As part of the Drucker Experience Summer Program you will take Economic Strategy with Professor Jay Prag, winner of several teacher-of-the-year awards at the Claremont Colleges (Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00pm-9:50pm).

You will also take a nine-session GMAT preparatory course with Kaplan, two nights per week. This specialized Kaplan class offers complete course materials, practice tests, personalized student homepage, Kaplan Test Prep Center access, Ultimate Practice Test and a full suite of online resources.

Finally, you will be able to access the GMAT quiz bank, which is a database of 1,000 questions exclusively for Drucker students. At the end of the course, you will be expected to retake the GMAT exam. For those students who show a marked improvement on the exam, your application will be reevaluated for admission in to the MBA program, and will also be considered for institutional aid.
