About OneMBA
OneMBA is the only global executive MBA delivered in partnership by five premier international business schools. Professors from all schools and international practitioners provide a framework for understanding the global business environment and management challenges specific to doing business in Europe, Asia and the Americas. OneMBA participants develop the skills to lead international organizations, with an emphasis on working with multicultural teams. English is used for all courses, which include:
-
Global residencies: OneMBA participants from all five schools come together for four week-long global residencies held on four continents, which cover countries that represent around 50% of the world’s GDP. They visit regional and multinational companies and attend lectures by local executives, entrepreneurs, public policymakers and professors, besides engaging in social immersion – as an experiential way to understand different perspectives on doing business.
-
Global courses: Between residencies, OneMBA participants attend globally-coordinated courses at their local OneMBA partner schools.
-
Regional courses: Each partner school offers regional courses that accelerate career success in its world region.
-
Along 21 months, students engage in multiple global teams (purposefully arranged to include diversity in terms of nationality, cultural background, academic background, industry and functional area experience, as well as gender and age) in order to conduct major projects that require working remotely with global team members from the other partner schools.
Designed for business professionals who live and work around the globe, OneMBA was launched in 2002, and graduated its first class in 2004. Today its network of 1,400 alumni in senior leadership positions extends to over 50 countries. Learn more about OneMBA at http://onemba.org/.
