Integrated Global Curriculum

Our participants become "deep generalists" -- mastering all the technical tools in accounting finance, economics, management, strategy and marketing.

Most MBA programs are organized into separate courses, but we go further to emphasize global management and integration across courses.

Senior leaders must develop solutions that integrate disciplines with a global perspective while considering various countries, cultures and economies. The world is not divided into academic courses or limited to a geographic region.

The curriculum is organized into ten themes, where each theme contains courses that are integrated around realistic situations and decisions facing senior managers.
