Gina Leaming - Classes at McCombs

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

One great thing, that's great about McCombs is that you're not tied to the past - path, you choose when you first start. So the concentrations are a great way to guide your class decisions, but there's nothing stopping you from taking a class that you're really interested in that falls outside of that curriculum. Each semester I tried to stick to two classes with heavy workloads, two with what I would consider a medium workload and one that was much lighter. Maybe it was purely lecture-based or we had a lot of speakers and there were enough classes to be able to do that each semester.Finance and accounting classes can be heavier workloads in general but usually, it's just more math focus, so they're just very quantitatively heavy. Whereas something like a strategy course is very reading heavy but there's very little homework that goes along with it. So it's really what you make of it and it's kind of up to the professors to form the class how they want. The first semester is very quant heavy and is either individual work or group homework with your study team. You also take all of your classes within your cohort, which is a quarter of your entire class. And it's a really great way to get to know a group of people quickly. After that, as you start to take electives with different students and different cohorts, you get to take classes as a first-yearwith a bunch of second years. You can also take them that are cross-disciplinary So you might be with law students or medical students. Um you start to get to meet everyone. Uh your you have a choice to focus in on a specific set of classes that you're interested in taking if you want to for your entire second year. So you can take all finance, all marketing, all strategy or you can take a variety, which is what most students end up doing.
