The
Top Business Schools: Recruiters' M.B.A. Picks (A Special Report)
Bethany Carlson, a student at the Simon School, discusses her decision
to forgo the M.B.A. and instead pursue a one-year master's degree in
marketing. The master's option is one that is gaining appeal for business
students, says Simon School Dean Mark Zupan: "Some people in technical
fields don't want to commit to a two-year M.B.A. but want one year of
management education after their undergraduate degree to give them more
clout in the marketplace." (Subscription required)

Poor
Sleep Contributes to Health Problems
"If you think insomnia is an annoyance and merely something you
should tough out, that may be a mistake," says Michael Perlis,
director of the Sleep Research Laboratory, in a report about the connection
between sleep disorders and overall health. "It may lead you down
the path to other morbidities. It would also be a mistake because it's
treatable."

Some Universities Shift Future Professors' Focus to Teaching
"Some universities are taking their teacher-training missions more
seriously. Partly, it's to provide better teaching for their own undergraduates,
who with rising tuition are less hesitant to complain about incompetent
TAs. And partly it's to help their graduate students when they go into
a job market that seems moderately more interested in teaching skills
than in the past."
