Olin’s Executive MBA programs exemplify the level of innovation and excellence that has made Washington University in St. Louis a globally recognized name. Known for educating influential business leaders worldwide – stressing leadership, organizational effectiveness, innovation and growth – our programs are continually evolving to meet the changing needs of a global economy.
The Shanghai program, launched in 2002, was one of the world's first United States-China joint Executive MBA programs. Co-taught by Washington University and Fudan University faculty, the program features a format and teaching approach that draw on the best that both schools have to offer. It was recently ranked first in mainland China according to the Financial Times Global Executive MBA Rankings 2010.
