I go to a top business school in the US, top 10 actually. The one thing I've figured out being a finance major is what you learn is done by the way the class is taught, not necessarily the material. They put you in a ton of different situations that involve public speaking, group projects, etc. Almost every class, whether what it is be it marketing, finance, operations, etc will have group projects and presentations, 1 on 1 interactions with someone who has influence over your grade, etc. They don't teach you really how to conduct business, all that is learned on the job. Rather, they give you a business mindset, you learn how to deal with people through experience like group project after group project, you polish your communication skills by delivering presentation after presentation, and they teach you how to interact with "co-workers" in a sense and manage people. Thats what business school has been about in my tenure.
