What is the Curriculum
A Thoughtfully Architected Program
The Executive MBA curriculum consists of 15 courses and covers 15 module themes, each tackling a Cross-Enterprise Leadership challenge.
Each month, when the class meets, a new theme is covered. The themes covered are deliberately sequenced to take participants through a progression of business issues beginning with "Decision Making" and ending with "Looking Ahead Globally". The faculty members co-ordinate their materials and approaches around each of these module themes which allows for team teaching opportunities and ensures the delivery of an integrated curriculum.
The careful sequencing of the individual classes, courses and themes are designed to build on one another throughout the program's three terms to provide you with a powerful and unique learning experience.
The following diagram illustrates how the courses and module themes are integrated and the progression of each term.

Course Projects to Customize Your Experience
Course Projects
Throughout the Executive MBA program, you will complete several individual and team based course projects. These projects will provide you with the opportunity to develop your analytical skills and apply them to real world business challenges. The project work, by design, combines your academic and professional life. You are encouraged to identify and examine challenges within your own organization as part of your course projects. This allows you to customize your Executive MBA learning experience and to provide immediate impact in your organization.
Executive Client Field Project
Helping companies with real strategic business issues is the cornerstone of the Executive Client Field Project. This team-based project provides an opportunity to move beyond the classroom and apply and refine the skills you have developed in the program. Working with executives and a faculty advisor, participants tackle complex cross-enterprise issues from the perspective of an executive leader and often come up with creative solutions that have significant financial payoffs.
International Business Trip
This trip presents a rare opportunity for you to immerse yourself in the cultural, political and economic realities of one of the world’s economic hotspots. This experience is a program highlight for many participants allowing them to put into practice the themes of the third term which include; "Crossing Borders", "International Investments", "Collaborative Strategies" and "Looking Ahead Globally".
