The goal was to design a high-quality and diverse MBA program in terms of students, faculty, curriculum, training and placement of students. The Cohort MBA program now stands as a viable program, and UT Dallas is ranked as one of the 50-100 business schools in the country.
Major curricular design was undertaken. Distinguished speakers series was started. Scholarship funds were instituted. The first class of 30 students started the program in 1996.
