Switzerland College

In all BSL classes, active student participation is demanded. This doesn't mean just answering questions posed by the professor, but also contributing to the learning process by voicing ideas and opinions. Statements will be challenged by faculty and other students. Attack and defence of ideas are important tools for a successful career in business. We feel so strongly about this aspect of business learning that participation is built into our grading system. Students in every course are judged on both how much they said, and how valuable their contribution was to the discussion.

The decisions faced by business people today involve many complex and uncertain factors. A business school must equip its graduates with the abilities to not only survive in this environment, but also to make decisions which will have a chance to lead to business success. In business, there is rarely one perfect solution. Being prepared to take different approaches, and combine and adapt the best parts of other solutions are characteristics of successful business people.

BSL students come from literally the four corners of the world. Combined with BSL's learning-by-participation method this means you will be exposed to a wide variety of problem solving approaches. Only by taking different approaches will you be able to find those creative and innovative solutions so necessary in today's business.
