A New Kind of MBA

Using a strongly applied approach, our full-time MBA combines theory and application to provide students with a grounding in the fundamentals of business. Designed for students without a business degree, courses explore such relevant topics as sustainability, new ventures and international business.

Accelerated Pace

The 12 month academic curriculum is the equivalent of most 18-24 month programs. We've compressed the schedule by eliminating extended downtimes between the three semesters and filling the time with options like the international field study trip.

Why the intensity? Your time is valuable. We treat it as such. MBA programs are expensive, not only in tuition costs but in the time they take you out of the marketplace. We have priced this program to be a rare value. And by compressing the curriculum, we lower your opportunity costs as well.

It Requires a Serious Commitment

The program immerses you in deep, thought-probing questions and extensive study. You'll attend class 14 - 16 hours each week, at least four days out of five. Plan to commit double that time — an additional 30 hours per week — for reading, projects, assignments and study. Even the semester break represents an opportunity to learn. You'll start in September, finish classes in August, and then complete an internship of two to eight months. Invest a year — and reap the rewards for the rest of your life.

The Right Fit

We're looking for a special group of people chosen for their sharp minds and diverse backgrounds. Our successful candidates will be ready to make a difference in the world and to push themselves to their highest potential, but also understand that no one succeeds on their own. They recognize that leveraging the various strengths of their team is a crucial part of leadership. As part of this cohort, you will be expected to pull your own weight while bringing out the best in others.
