Personal MBA Coach would like to share a key takeaway from day one of the annual Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC) conference. At the AIGAC conference, admissions directors from a few top programs including Duke Fuqua, Berkeley Haas and UVA Darden discussed what is top of mind for their programs. These themes play a role both in how candidates are evaluated and in how curriculums are being updated.
Theme #2: Technology Continues To Shape Business Education.
Over the last two years, business schools devoted considerable resources to increasing the use of technology in the classroom and bringing classes online, where needed. Now, that businesses are increasingly embracing technology and virtual work, admissions directors are tasked with identifying applicants who can help businesses tackle the next set of technology-related challenges: harnessing technology while maintaining humanity.
Duke Fuqua highlighted new elective content in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence along with its new core course on technology integration.
Berkeley Haas Dean Ann Harrison also shared how graduate education is increasingly focused on how to embrace the digital transformation that was accelerated by the pandemic while maintaining company culture.
