The Berkeley-Columbia Executive MBA nets measurable results for
both individuals and their sponsoring organizations. Through the
curriculum, you will have access to the most current research
and practice in business. Whether you wish to redefine your responsibilities,
elevate your position, change careers or start a business, the
benefits are clear right away.
Although this degree program requires a substantial investment
and a deep commitment, the rewards are—in the words of many
of our students—“life changing” for participants
and their organizations. Our innovative format allows you to maintain
commitments at work, including a heavy travel schedule, while
you gain the skills required for accelerating a successful career.
Leveraging your talent
By studying how leading firms and different industries apply best
practices, you can employ new frameworks for thinking through
individual challenges. Insights from such diverse disciplines
as management, marketing, accounting, finance, strategy and operations
prepare all students for broader management responsibility. Sponsorship
signals the employer’s commitment to leadership development—a
motivating message for the entire organization.
Seeing the impact on your company
Class exercises and special projects enable you to apply learning
to your organization’s current business challenges, both
collaboratively and individually. In the optional Team Project
course, small groups of students can study a change—an acquisition,
strategic alliance, proposed initiative—within one of their
organizations and benefit from the faculty adviser’s depth
of expertise. Some students expand on this experience via Independent
Study. The intense focus on a strategic challenge, insights from
faculty members and recommendations for implementation offer tremendous
value to sponsoring organizations.
Positioning for success
Recognized as an asset before starting the Berkeley-Columbia Executive
MBA program, you will become even more valuable to your firm.
Through the program you will hone your abilities to identify and
seize opportunities, foster professional relationships across
major industries and compete globally. You will have access to
an extensive network of alumni in virtually every industry around
the world. Thus prepared to take on leadership roles, you will
be poised to guide any type of enterprise through rapid changes
and challenging conditions.
