MBA for Executives

The MBA for Executives program is an 18-month, highly integrated innovative program focusing on business problem-solving strategies. The curriculum adopts an academic stream framework. This approach helps sustain the academic focus of the business disciplines beyond a traditional course structure. By weaving topics through seven academic streams running the life of the program, emphasis is placed on the relationship of business tools and techniques in helping solve complex business problems. Building on the strengths of highly successful students, the program helps develop the confidence and skills necessary for the emerging business leader. Through the executive topics, the executive lecture series provide extensive opportunities for students to network with other current executive education students, Bay Area professionals and alumni. Personalization options exist at the end of the program. Specifically, students can enroll in MBA elective courses including international travel.

The program is framed by a foundation and completion module. The foundation module is a benchmarking experience helping the student exhibit areas of strength and assesses areas for improvement and further growth. This experience helps bring the new cohort together into an academic environment that will promote a strong learning community. The completion module requires that the student demonstrate his/her ability to apply and integrate what they have learned throughout the program. By analyzing an important problem, issue, or opportunity in their firm, the student ensures an effective transition back to their work life. Six intensive learning experiences in the program help provide a setting where students apply their learning through active role-playing using carefully planned case simulations.
