As I sit here at my keyboard, I have a big smile on my face. First of all, on Sunday night the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts to win their first ever Super Bowl. Of course, there is also some great news about the Freeman School that has me smiling.
The Freeman School is one of the top five graduate schools in the nation for entrepreneurship. That’s the finding of Entrepreneur magazine and the Princeton Review, which ranked the Freeman School fourth in the nation on their list of Top Graduate Programs for Entrepreneurs.
To investment manager Howard Marks, chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, the roots of the financial crisis can be summed up in a simple observation: When people think there’s no risk, that’s the riskiest situation imaginable.
Thanks to a unique new partnership between the Freeman School and the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP), students can earn a master’s degree in risk management while simultaneously preparing for the FRM examinations.
The Freeman School jumped seven spots in the latest Financial Times ranking of executive MBA programs. Freeman’s EMBA program is now ranked 64th in the world and 22nd among U.S. programs.
