Why is it easier to get into Harverd MBA than it is to get into Berkley MFA?
Because yesterdays MBA is today's MFA. Get used to arts, design and right brained thinking leading business ... and the world.
Just ask Daniel Pink! And then ask your school board why it invests SO LITTLE (if anything at all) in Arts + Culture.
Facts ...
* Fashion has moved to the 2nd largest industry in the Western World.
* You pay $4.00 for a coffee in a posh coffee house, but only $1.50 for the same coffee in a polystyrene cup on a train. That's over a 150% mark up because of design.
* Children who are taught arts and culture have better brains.
* An Arts-rich 26 year old is 5 times less likely to be dependant on state assistance than a non-arts-rich person of the same age.
* Schools with an arts rich education have better standards. They have a shared identity and ethos and perform better in the 'soft measures' that are increasingly being measured.
* Teaching arts badly actually stifles creativity. It's better to not teach arts at all than to pay lip service to it and do it badly.
