Management Theory + Business Cases, Challenges, and Skills
Focus on the foundations of Financial, Human Resource, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management; combine with courses from our contemporary Global, Digital, Sustainable, and Social Business clusters; choose additional courses from among shared electives; improve your business skills throughout the program; and bring it all together in a Business Plan or Business Project.
Everyone’s professional career is different, and we’ve always believed that your academic career can be too. You will be the one customizing your program based on your previous studies, current interests, and future ambitions. You will also attempt courses with students from other programs and concentrations through shared electives. Our program is modeled after our academic partner’s long-standing MBA program, through which it is also validated. We’ve made it our own and refined it for young metropolitan professionals such as yourself.

Starting Dates
Our academic calendar is based on a quarter system with four 10-week quarters per year that consist of two 5-week terms each. We refer to these quarters as Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, and to these terms simply as A and B. Our program’s flexible structure and modular design allow you to optimally plan your studies and choose from multiple starting dates in October, November, January, February, April, May, July, and August.
Several scholarship options are available. Please check the school website for more information.
Modular Design
Our flexible program structure is based on the American model of higher education, allowing students to choose their courses (with some limitations) based on program requirements, which are different for each of our programs and must be met in order to finish.
Program Requirements
- 2 courses from the Marketing Management cluster
- 2 courses from the Financial Management cluster
- 2 courses from the Human Resource Management cluster
- 2 courses from the Supply Chain Management cluster
- 2 courses from the Business Cases cluster
- 2 courses from the Business Challenges cluster

Program Duration
You can complete the program in a full-time format within 1 academic year of 3 quarters of 20 credits each for a total of 9 months, or within 4 quarters for a total of 12 months, spreading the workload.
Alternatively, you can complete the program in a part-time format within 3 academic years, depending on our course planning and your course selection. Completing half of the typical workload of a full-time format will equal twice the typical duration. The more flexible you are with your professional or other activities, the more courses you may be able to join in order to complete the program faster.
Teaching Schedule
We schedule most courses on weekdays throughout the day, typically in blocks of 3 hours between 8:30 and 18:30, but there may be several evening courses between 19:00 and 22:00, weekend courses on Saturdays, and/or seminar courses with visiting faculty in two or more consecutive days. Some courses may be scheduled in a hybrid format, partially on-campus and partially virtual, or in a fully virtual format. When students combine on-campus and virtual courses, we refer to that as a blended program.
Additional Options
- After finishing the program, you can register for a 90-credit Dual Master program, or for a professional internship.
- During the program, you can register for private tutoring per hour or per course, or for distance learning per course.
- Before starting the program, you can register for a customized Pre-Master Foundation program designed for Bachelor-qualified students who previously studied something other than business and management, or for one or more Pre-Master Seminars designed as a refresher for those who did study business and management.
