MBA Leadership

The MBA Leadership Program develops managers capable of making sound decisions in an increasingly complex world, and who combine the art and science of leadership with a global perspective. Students identify and analyze a wide spectrum of information from balance sheets to socio-cultural diversity, and practice using real-world inputs to think through and implement plans of action that lead organizations forward. Studies and analysis include the importance of ethical values and decision-making, as well as an understanding of the forces of globalization and cross-cultural knowledge in today’s complex business world. Our students benefit from coursework in organizational change, emotional intelligence and strategic leadership - allowing them to focus their leadership development on their past lived experiences, current international events and future opportunities for positive change.
