MSGrad11 Dec 27, 2010 2:00 AM GMT I'm currently enrolled into a Masters program (full-time) at JHCBS and can sense that the CBS is on par with the elite business schools in the nation, as it relates to academics. The business school lacks the alumni base but JHU overall has many alums who will support a fellow JHU grad. The name of the university (JHU) carries a lot of value and the students shouldn't have much difficulty finding a job. With that said, the career services office isn't the best and does need to be revamped. The women that work there are attractive, but that's about all that they are good for (eye candy).

Pete Sep 28, 2010 1:44 AM GMT I graduated from JHU and have many friends graduted from others,such as Columbia U., U of Virginia,and UIUC. We all studied MBA and our conclusion is that there is no much different from what they teach. You have to study hard, do a lot of networking, and always look for opportunities. The only thing that could take an advantage is the school name that helps you attract people to network with you or give you a better chance to receive an interview. It's my two cents. I am looking forward to seeing JHU B-School becomes a top one.

B-School Sep 3, 2010 11:35 AM GMT I have two friends that are enrolled in the full time MBA program at Hopkins and rave about their classmates, the professors and their courses. I fully believe this will be one of the best business school in the coming years. The foundation is very strong and the alumni network will also be very strong

Johnson Aug 19, 2010 2:57 AM GMT Interesting, Hopkins is generally well-known and respected for it's strength in medicine/biology/IR/etc. but not business. It'll be... interesting, to see how this move plays out.

'JHUMBA' Jul 6, 2010 12:07 PM GMT 'If business isn''t about calculated risks, I don''t know what it is about. Is going to Carey a risk? Of course it is. But Johns Hopkins University isn''t some unknown school. This university is known throughout the world. Will Carey be the best finance school in the nation? Probably not. Will Carey be recognized as one of the best MBA programs for the Health Care Industry? Most likely. Give Carey time and I''m positive that we will see it become a top rated school.'

'Another Hopkins Part-Time MBA Student' May 28, 2010 8:16 PM GMT 'I agree - the part-time program needs attention as we account for the lion''s share of the MBA students. World class? Maybe in 30 years. We are paying top dollar for tuition. Please get rid of the adjunct profs and the mediocre at best career placement center. '

'Richard Kessinger' May 18, 2010 11:15 AM GMT 'The author should realize that Hopkins Alumni are numerous in business and finance (e.g. Bloomberg, Palmisano, Black, et al.), and that all of us want the new Carey School to be successful in the Hopkins tradition, that is academically excellent and world class research oriented.

'Thresa' May 17, 2010 6:42 AM GMT 'Johns Hopkins is one of the world''s best universities. They should have no problem creating a business school that rivals some of the best in the world. Their Dean, Mr. Gupta, wouldn''t have it any other way.If they can attract ambitious students with high GMAT scores (700+) and good undergraduate GPAs, then they can work their way up the rankings relatively quickly.'
