The integrative exercise, a business case simulation held at the end of the first year, challenges students to apply what they have learned in the foundation courses to a real business problem. The business case unfolds over a four-day period and requires each team to make a series of daily business decisions, thereby demonstrating their analytical, creative problem-solving, and team facilitation skills.
Teams compete for the highest ranking. The added pressure of its short timeframe makes the integrative exercise a realistic simulation of the high-stakes pressure to deliver results in a real business. On the last day, each team presents to a faculty "board of directors," answers their questions, and submits an executive summary and supporting documents for its decisions and recommendations.
The Terry MBA is one of the best bargains in education. According to Forbes magazine, Terry MBAs were able to recoup all their educational investment within 3.7 years of graduation, 19th fastest among all schools that have a total cost for tuition and foregone salary of under $95,000.
