Overview

Your best plan for success in today’s global, networked economy: A Boston University MBA.

Why? Because this School will prepare you to rise through the ranks more quickly, and see the big picture more strategically than others, through a unique curricula fusing the art, science, and technology of business. This holistic and pragmatic management perspective specially trains you for the rigors of leadership, giving you a broad, firm grasp of management as an integrated system: how manufacturing decisions will affect your marketing campaign and how that, in turn, will influence overall financial performance—today and tomorrow.

Through our programs:

● You’ll master the art of managing, teaming, persuading, and negotiating

● You’ll make smarter decisions, grounding them in the science of rigorous statistical and quantitative analysis

● You’ll understand how to leverage technology to boost your organization’s productivity and profitability

● You’ll be based in Boston, one of the world’s greatest innovation and venture capital hubs, while being immersed in an intensely global student population and alumni network

You’ll also distinguish yourself with our distinctive Career Portfolio Program, which is fully integrated into the MBA curriculum. This career development tool helps you create a long-range career map and propel your job search.

MBA Programs
With our MBA programs, you gain both deep functional exposure and a host of flexible options.

With our traditional MBA or MS●MBA degree, you can further specialize in:

● Entrepreneurship
● Finance
● Information Systems
● International Management
● Health Sector Management
● Marketing
● Public and Nonprofit Management
● Strategy and Business Analysis

If you pursue a traditional MBA, you may gain extra functional exposure with a dual degree at one of the 13 other graduate schools within Boston University. Or you may join our International MBA, studying global business up close in Shanghai and Beijing before arriving in Boston for the start of fall semester.

As an MS●MBA student, you’ll earn an MS in Information Systems, giving you even greater ability to leverage technology from a managerial and strategic perspective. The degree does not build techies but rather leaders for our network era, when information technology is inextricably linked to every organizational dynamic.

Faculty and Research
Faculty routinely bring their research and consulting experience into the classroom, where you’ll learn from constant contact with real-world issues. They also regularly partner with leading firms and government agencies.

Additionally, the School houses a variety of renowned research centers, such as the award-winning Institute for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization or groundbreaking Institute for Global Work—enabling your own pursuit of research and new ventures. You can also tap the 70+ research centers within BU, the nation’s fourth largest research university.

Global Reach
Beyond our International MBA, the School enables your global reach through Field Seminars in Asia, India, Brazil and Europe. Moreover, our large international student population makes the classroom itself a true multicultural experience while creating an unmatched alumni network.
