Program Overview

Program Description:
What sets our Executive MBA Programs apart from others? We have a winning combination of features: world-class faculty, accomplished students, and we view learning as an ongoing, interactive experience that keeps individuals achieving throughout their lifetimes. Our Executive MBA students gain analytical and leadership skills that help their organizations compete more effectively in a rapidly changing business environment. As a result, they have the confidence to push conventional boundaries, test new methods, and implement innovative solutions. They know when to take risks and how to capitalize on opportunities. Almost immediately from the time they begin our programs, participants, and their sponsoring firms, realize a strong return on investment. An organization's effectiveness depends on the strength of its leaders. They provide direction, inspiration, and the vision to drive performance and impact the bottom line. Not surprisingly then, the leadership development of talented professionals is a priority for companies across the globe. Part of this development is acquiring a sophisticated tool set: finely honed communication, teamwork, and quantitative skills. Even more important, though, is cultivating a new way of thinking, approaching challenges and getting results. That's exactly what takes place in SBS's Executive MBA programs for experienced working professionals. Both allow you to earn your degree in just 18 months. You can join at the start of any term as the program is ongoing. The participants meet once a week on Saturday. Fully accredited, the program connects students with a lifelong network of outstanding peers.

Each class develops its own personality and becomes part of our community, as well as our worldwide network of alumni. In addition, you'll be assigned to study groups with different backgrounds and functional strengths.
