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.

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