Global Executive MBA
The Global Executive MBA is a comprehensive twelve-month program designed for working executives and managers: two Saturdays a month on campus, two evenings a week online, without leaving your position. The thesis focuses on your own company: it is not an academic exercise, but a strategic project applied to your organization, supervised by a thesis advisor and defended before a panel of executives. The return on investment begins before graduation.
