I did attend a class - a marketing/brand management class with a professor who is fairly new at Owen. Before class when we were introduced, he seemed very excited to be at Vandy and was really looking forward to the focus the school is placing on marketing/brand management. He didn't mention any specific changes in classes/curriculum, but just generally was excited to be there.
I have heard a lot and read some also on the focus they're putting on marketing. They hired away one of Wharton's tenured marketing profs to head up their marketing department, and hired a couple additional new professors. Apparently, marketing needed to be improved, so Vandy's really focusing on working on it.
I figure, they're already known to be strong in finance, and marketing and finance makes up a big portion of MBA's. So if they have the 2, it should help them move on up.
When are R2 decisions made? This is just me being lazy and not looking at the website.
