The Student Experience

SOM students enjoy collegial relationships with faculty, staff, alumnae, and their fellow students, all in an intimate, small-campus setting at the center of one of the world’s greatest cities. Our collaborative community cultivates personal and professional growth. Whether you seek a peer-level study group or a one-on-one meeting with your professor, Simmons offers the academic, professional, and social support to help you succeed.

Faculty frequently invite MBA students to collaborate on professional research, publications, and presentations. Alumnae and other businesswomen seek student input to help develop projects and problem solve. On average, Simmons MBA students possess eight years of professional experience in diverse fields. Their combined knowledge and expertise adds depth and perspective to our program.

“I knew I wanted to continue my higher education abroad because my professional goal is to work for a multinational corporation; I needed an international perspective and global mind-set of the business world. Simmons offers that.”
