<p>What are your opinions? The school says that they are on a fast track for receiving aacsb accreditation. However I am not sure whether the school is growing in numbers or growing in general for that matter. It is still too early to call but could the carey business school ever become top tier?</p>
<p>Sure it could happen. But i don’t see it likely any time soon. The current dean Yash Gupta is actually interviewing for the Iowa provost position and has left many previous positions with a short tenure. JHU needs a more dedicated and distinguished person to lead the school.

<p>I came across the same article. I agree with you that it wouldn’t be anytime soon, perhaps in 10 years from now. Maybe the changing of deans will be good for the school after all.</p>
<p>That’s unfortunate news that the Dean is leaving. When he first came to JHU, he had some really bold and promising ideas: [Dean</a> Yash Gupta of the Carey Business School | Johns Hopkins University - The Gazette](<a href=“http://gazette.jhu.edu/2010/05/17/q-a-with-the-carey-business-schools-yash-gupta/]Dean”>Dean Yash Gupta of the Carey Business School : Gazette Archives) . </p>
<p>I wonder if his time at the school was enough for his vision to come to fruition. I haven’t read of any updates since then. And if he wasn’t able to accomplish his goals, then yes…maybe it’s time for him to look for employment elsewhere. </p>
<p>As a current student at JHSPH, one perspective I can offer is that I know of a handful of students here who are enrolled in a combination MPH/MBA program. They’ve said that the program is intense, but I think many of the MPH students have been able to benefit from it. One thing that’s nice about the MBA program is that it appears to be drawing from the strengths of many of the other graduate programs that JHU has to offer. I would imagine that these linkages give the business students a more holistic yet in-depth view of the fields that they are preparing themselves for, which will ultimately produce better professionals and perhaps bolster the prestige of the school…one day.</p>
<p>In summary, it has a lot of potential.</p>
<p>I can’t wait for the school to become accredited by AACSB. It is still not certain if the dean is leaving. We will see.</p>
<p>It appears that the school is making good progress towards AACSB accreditation. It may occur as soon as 2012. This was from JHU Carey Business School’s Dean Job Posting:</p>
<p><a href=“http://carey.jhu.edu/bin/c/e/JHU%20Carey%20PD.pdf[/url]”>http://carey.jhu.edu/bin/c/e/JHU%20Carey%20PD.pdf</a></p>
<p>“AACSB Accreditation
In May 2009 the Carey School initiated the process to pursue accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Despite certain questions that were raised about diversity, faculty and programs submitted for exclusion from the accreditation process, the school’s Eligibility Application was accepted by the AACSB’s Pre-Accreditation Committee (PAC) in June 2009. The school prepared and submitted the required Accreditation Plan in August 2009 and in January 2010 received notification from the AACSB that its plan was accepted. Seven concerns were raised, primarily about the school’s Assurance of Learning program and its faculty resources. The Carey School submitted its first required progress report in March 2010. The school was notified in May 2010 that its Progress Report was accepted, but five areas of concern, mostly about faculty resources, were identified. The school submitted its second progress report January 15, 2011. The Assurance of Learning program and faculty resources remain the only concerns of the Initial Accreditation Committee (IAC). The next progress report will be submitted in January 2012.”</p>
<p>Im a current alumni of Carey. Cant wait to see the school get AACSB Accreditation. Apparently the process is long and complicated to get the accreditation… </p>
<p>My experience with Carey so far is quite good. The faculty and courses are good and it seems to me the school is striving toward the direction of “building a great business school”.</p>
<p>Anyone know the reputation of Carey and Wall Street (Investment banking)?</p>
<p>Carey has no reputation on wall street because its brand new and it’s only with the new dean has it been declared finance will be one of the main focuses of the mba. The Carey MBA’s main focus is in the healthcare and related industries due to JHU’s dominance in the field from the medical school and public health school. The new dean is a former big shot at McKinsey so maybe he will be able to use his own personal connections to attract big wall street firms to the school but it takes a long time for a business school to build credibility on wall street. Wall Street firms, the top tier that is, select from a select pool of schools and that’s about it. It will take a good deal of time for Carey to get anywhere near the reputations of tuck or tepper or columbia etc etc. When it gets AACSB certification that will definitely help but I don’t know how long that is going to take. Also the quality of students will determine the future. If a Carey graduate manages to get a position at Goldman or Morgan and works at a level that makes the recruiters take notice, then it’s very likely recruiters will come to Carey. Personally from what I heard, the new dean has a huge project on his hand because the first dean kind of blew through the budget and hired people he knew and not always the best candidates.</p>
