The Executive MBA Program, offered by the Zicklin School of Business, is designed to provide

...

experienced managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs with cutting-edge, evidence-based theories

...

The most distinctive characteristic of the program is its integrated focus on strategy. It prepares students to develop and implement appropriate strategies that:

...

, concepts, and analytics that will help them compete in today’s intensely competitive and constantly changing local and global markets. Students will learn to think strategically about the fit between a firm’s external competitive environment, their chosen strategy, and the resources available to the firm in implementing that strategy

...

. Students will analyze and hone their leadership and communications skills, as well as learn how to create and manage transformational change in their organizations.

Our newly redesigned program is infused with six themes that are integrated throughout the curriculum.

  • Business 101.  Understand the basics: master business fundamentals (quantitative tools, finance, economics) and develop functional knowledge in the core disciplines of marketing, finance, accounting, information systems, and management.
  • Instant ROI.  Apply theories and concepts learned in class immediately to the real world. Learn it on Saturday and apply it on Monday.  Become conversant in the latest thinking about how to lead a business and be prepared to analyze complex business problems and make evidence-based decisions.
  • Prepare to lead.  Prepare for the challenges of leadership with classes on strategy, communication, negotiation, persuasion and innovation—the essential skill set every great leader must have.
  • Ethics.  Learn to identify ethical issues in business situations and develop ways of thinking through ethical dilemmas in an increasingly complex world. 
  • Sustainability.  Understand the environmental and social challenges that contribute to the complexity of the business environment and that drive companies to assess their social and environmental impacts.  Make sustainability an essential part of your business strategy. 
  • Global Excellence. Learn to lead effectively across cultures by developing greater sensitivity to differences in perspectives, institutions, and practices among business people from around the world.  Understand the challenges and opportunities of managing far-flung organizations and operating in foreign environments.

The 22-month, 57-credit program is designed for working professionals with full-time jobs. Classes are held once a week (primarily on

Saturdays with some Fridays)

...

for 14 sessions per trimester. Classes are in session from 8:30am until 5:30pm, with breaks for healthy snacks and lunch. Before the program begins, all students attend a Boot Camp that prepares them for courses in finance, accounting, and statistics. 

Executive MBA instructors are hand-picked members of Baruch’s full-time faculty, selected for their professional and academic experience and their ability to create a dynamic and interactive classroom environment.
