Blog Archive Professor Profiles Dan Ariely, Duke Universitys Fuqua School of Business

Blog Archive Professor Profiles Dan Ariely, Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose an MBA program, but the educational experience you will have is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on  Dan Ariely  from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. Dan Ariely’s “Behavioral Economics” class is reportedly a popular one at Fuquaâ€"“It always has the longest waiting list,” remarked one second year we interviewed, and an alumna said of Ariely, “He was wonderful.” When mbaMission asked a first-year student about Ariely’s class, he said jokingly, “I’m pretty sure you have to snag that class within one or two seconds of it becoming available!” The course explores how people actually act in the marketplace, as opposed to how they might act if they were being completely rational. Ariely is also author of the books  The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyoneâ€"Especially Ourselves  (HarperCollins, 2012),  The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home  (HarperCollins, 2010), and  Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions  (HarperCollins, 2008). An alumna told mbaMission, “He got us to think about everyday things in a totally new way,” and a second-year student commented, “Everyone takes his course. Everyone. He’s our rock-star professor.” Another second year agreed, saying, “He is one of the superstar professors here. He explains more complex research in an easy-to-understand way.” Ariely maintains a blog that can be found at http://danariely.com/. He also writes a weekly advice column, titled “Ask Ariely,” for the  Wall Street Journal.   For more information about Duke Fuqua and 15 other top-ranked business schools, check out the  mbaMission Insider’s Guides.
