Uniquely Designed Curriculum. In addition to a rigorous core, we redesigned the second year of the Executive MBA curriculum through listening to our customers and alumni:  people like you who wrestle with the complex, unstructured problems that challenge leading executives. If MBA study is in your future and you are ready to develop high-level business skills in a premier learning environment, our theme-based courses address the issues of sustainable profitable growth, leadership, innovation, creativity and the global marketplace, each team-taught by our most experienced faculty.

Global Study. As part of the global theme, the Executive MBA program gives you the opportunity to gain firsthand experience through an international study trip to Shanghai, China. This trip combines visits to leading corporations and government agencies, as well as classroom instruction through which students interact and collaborate with Executive MBA students from our partner program at Fudan University, ranked #1 in mainland China by The Financial Times.

Networking. Our Executive MBA program will connect you with a worldwide network of business leaders that yields priceless benefits.  Enriched by collaboration with seasoned peer professionals from diverse functional backgrounds and industries our program design enables you to build close working relationships through intimate classroom settings and study groups. As part of an international alumni network, including over 500 senior executives from our Executive MBA program in China, you’ll have access to both high quality and a high quantity of contacts.

Professional Development Planning. Career management strategy is an essential aspect of every executive’s personal development.  At Olin, our formal Executive Leadership Plan enables our executive students to develop the self awareness and the skill set to navigate career paths within their organizations. Students create personal development plans that shape their career strategies and identify areas for growth. The process includes one-on-one coaching, peer assessment and feedback on team and leadership skills, optional skill-building workshops and course material on leadership, influence, negotiation, cross-cultural management, and team development.

Quality of Faculty. Olin professors are distinguished by their innovative research and are uniquely qualified to push conventional boundaries and test new methods. We know the real-world measure of a program is how your academic experience translates into the workplace. Our faculty put research-driven thinking-applied to the test.
