Dare to launch the next phase of your career
Our newly redesigned MBA program
In business education, as in business, what works today will not necessarily work tomorrow. There’s nothing traditional or expected about the way we have redesigned our MBA program. There can’t be, if we expect our students to compete at the highest level in a rapidly changing business environment. We recognize that each one of the 80 students in our incoming MBA classes comes to us with a diverse background, skill set, and vision for the future. The mid-career student who aims to move to a higher rung of leadership within her organization will have distinctly different needs from the student who seeks to leverage his MBA to blaze a new career path in a new country. Our one-year and two-year program options take this diversity of need into account. We also recognize that employers are hungry for a set of skills that most MBA programs have historically neglected to teach, like AI, financial technology, data analysis, and design thinking. When the market speaks, we listen. With new, flexible specializations, our students can personalize the content of their degrees to gain a competitive edge. In redesigning our MBA program, we have charted our own course because we expect our students to do the same.

Dare to chart your own course
One year or two? Choose between our 48-credit and 54-credit programs, keeping in mind that every student begins at the same time and takes the same number of classes. The difference in credits comes down to the time you spend in the internship, not the classroom. The 48-credit program can be completed in 12 months. The 54-credit takes 20, though many students accelerate it to finish in 16.
