The Curriculum:
MBA for Executives
Our action-oriented, decision-focused curriculum consists of five components:
- The Core – ten courses designed to fill knowledge gaps in your business fundamentals. Delivered in five integrated terms. Learn more about our Core Courses
- Leadership Residencies – modules are punctuated by four in-depth, extended-length LR's, which focus on a specific leadership challenge from both an organizational and a personal perspective. (The third Learning Residency, Leading in an Emerging Economy is held outside the United States.)
- Action Learning – at the end of each core term, students demonstrate how they have applied the academic material to their professional setting. (We encourage students to share these experiences with their company sponsors and managers.)
- Professional Advancement Course – includes a coaching component using certified executive performance coaches and a career advancement component.
- Enterprise Perspective Course – class sessions that encourage students to perceive situations and diagnose problems, then make essential tradeoffs or reconcile management decisions based on a multi-functional point of view. (e.g., guest speakers, field trips, simulations, workshops, etc.)
- Electives – six courses offered in terms 6 & 7. Courses offered are based on faculty availability and student interest. Typical offerings include: Bargaining & Negotiating; Mergers & Acquisitions; Leading Organic Growth; Business Law; Entrepreneurial Thinking; Corporate Finance.
