ADS Blog: Managers Manage, Leaders Learn to Let Go

    So, is the MBA program at Rollins "traditional?" Do they teach you to become a manager or a leader?

    The program at Rollins does lean more toward leadership, though there is still a heavy emphasis on traditional management, especially in every simulation that we did. Having said that though, the program I was in was a general MBA, and I only had one entrepreneurship class. The experience might be different if you go for a full-time MBA (i.e. right out of undergrad) and focus on entrepreneurship.

    When all is said and done though, I am extremely glad that I did the MBA at Rollins. It is already serving me very well, and will continue to do so in the years to come.
