What is Little's Law? How might it be applied to determine the average length of time it takes an MBA student to complete the program?

What will be an ideal response?


Little's Law is articulated as W=L/?. The average time to complete an MBA can be calculated by dividing the number of students in the program by the arrival rate, i.e., how many students are admitted to the program on average, per year or per semester. Using the graduation rate (if the two rates are substantially different) might inflate the average time.
