Work and study: Combining the best of both worlds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Global Executive MBA participants come from a wide variety of roles and organizations. Many of them are working full-time while undertaking their studies. As such, the online classes and the focused residential allow you to stay engaged with your professional life and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chartered accountant and entrepreneur Paul Frazier Jr.<\/a> was looking for a program that would be \u201cdisruptive, but not something that would take away from my daily life.\u201d He found just that. \u201cThe flexibility and the personalization of the hybrid approach to the Global Executive MBA allows a busy professional like myself to manage time more easily.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, global business manager Mauricio Gentile<\/a> says, \u201cThe blended format allowed me to keep working and studying.\u201d This flexibility allows you to apply all you learn about sustainable business, digital transformation and strategic foresight to your business as you go. And that”s all without putting your life or career on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the curriculum is carried out online. However, the four residential periods during the Global Executive MBA allow for immersion in international business. During these hands-on periods, participants can see how different businesses confront challenges around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
