This didn\u2019t seem like a bad idea at all, so we got to work.<\/p>\n<p>Doing an MBA is a very serious thing given the amount of time, energy, and money one has to invest. The payoffs can be great if you choose the right program, but it is not always easy to know what each MBA program is about. From a distance, they may look quite alike and seemingly only differ in length and location. But there is much more to each program that you need to discover. Only then will you know whether a program is the right fit for you.<\/p>\n<p>This blog will address all sorts of issues related to our Full-Time MBA. We will answer frequently asked questions and provide information on the program. Subjects such as class profiles, Career Services, Barcelona, and MBA events will be at the core of our posts. All of this is meant to better inform everybody interested in the MBA: current, former, and prospective students.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to join the conversation, ask whatever is on your mind, and tell us what you think about the project. I hope to incorporate your feedback as part of the ongoing development of the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Happy reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is my pleasure to welcome you to IESE\u2019s Full-Time MBA Blog!
