Smith Executive MBA students often compare their experience to a 17-month “think tank,” where they can bring a workplace problem to a Friday morning class and obtain a Tuesday afternoon solution. Studying with classmates of similar age and background, you’ll learn to think through complex ideas and make decisions based on data and reasoned analysis, providing empowering leadership to your organization. At Smith, the curriculum is based on a strong foundation in each business discipline. Throughout this coursework, we look for interactions, interdependencies, and systemic links between the disciplines and functions of a business.
