Your Second Year of Business School

What's the Second Year of Business School Like?

By , About.com Guide

There is a world of difference between the second year of business school and the first. To start with, the workload is quite a bit lighter. You also have the advantage of knowing what is expected of you, and how long it takes you to complete class assignments and other requirements.

Year Two Business School Coursework
You should have completed most of the core curriculum during the first year of business school. Whatever has not been completed will need to be taken care of by the end of year two.

Second year business school students who have mastered the broad-base core curriculum will focus on taking elective classes in their area of specialization.

Other Year Two Activities
Most of the anxiety felt in the second year of business school directly results from the need to find a job. If you chose your business school carefully, you will have plenty of help. If not, it will be up to you to recruit an employer.
