READY TO LEAD

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

READY TO LEAD

EXECUTIVE MBA | MBA FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS 3

Learning to lead evolves during the process

of earning your degree. You do it with the

skills you acquire as you exchange ideas with

accomplished peers, field challenges from

top faculty, interact with renowned business

leaders and tackle a rigorous curriculum.

Sharpening your ability to lead takes more

than gaining an understanding of theory.

It takes real-life experience in a stimulating,

diverse and intellectual environment. As part

of the UM MBA experience, you’ll work in

small learning teams that will provide you with

the chance to develop your leadership skills

and test your newly acquired insight.

EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP ABILITY. LEARNED AND EARNED.Leadership is what every organization demands, but the ability to lead isn’t

automatically granted with an MBA.

A history of excellence

UM’s MBA programs for executives and working professionals,

established more than 35 years ago, are among the nation’s longest

running and most experienced.

That’s one of the reasons why our admissions

criteria are decidedly selective. We invite

experienced professionals who are ready to

take their talents to a higher level. And by

working side-by-side with peers who are on

the same journey upward, that’s exactly

what they do.

Through team and classroom interaction,

you’ll learn to communicate effectively with

individuals from diverse cultural, academic

and professional backgrounds. You’ll learn

how to inspire action among your classmates

and business associates. This open exchange

of information brings theory to life, as you

collaborate to analyze problems and formulate

strategies. And you’ll build strong, lasting

relationships with friends from around

the globe.

The UM School of Business Administration

offers a range of MBA programs designed

specifically for executives and other working

professionals in a range of industries.

You’ll earn the same MBA degree as the one

offered through our Full-Time MBA program,

benefit from the same challenging curriculum,

and share the same world-class faculty.

The difference: you’ll do it all without

interrupting your career.

The UM Executive MBA and the MBA for

Working Professionals programs also enable

you to customize your MBA experience to

better meet your industry and career goals –

with a range of elective courses few other such

programs can match.

Now may be the most exciting time in our

80-year history. Under the leadership of Dean

Barbara Kahn, the School is attracting top

research talent, advancing an innovative,

cross-functional curriculum and enhancing

alumni outreach programs – and that’s

only the beginning.

The UM MBA experience will change you – for

life and for the better.

MORE THAN A DEGREE. A CAREER- AND LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE.The UM MBA experience is shaped by you and the people you share it with –

the professors, the administration, and most of all, your classmates.

Successful leaders understand how technology drives the entire enterprise –

from operations to marketing and sales.

To help you better understand the power

of technology to drive change, you’ll have

full access to the University’s technologically

advanced campus for learning, experimentation

and growth.

This technological commitment is evident in

every aspect of our campus and curriculum.

Computer labs and lounges, exclusive to MBA

students, offer fast access to the Internet and

all of the University’s online resources. Wireless

access is available campus-wide, allowing you

and your instructors to incorporate real-time

information – from beyond the classroom – into

and features the latest and most sophisticated

tools in research technology. The result of a recent

$3 million endowment, this impressive facility

provides you with a high-tech gateway to the world’s

most essential articles, databases and resources.

your knowledge of management, economics

and marketing with finance, business law and

technology. Your professors will coach you,

encourage you to take chances and challenge

you to rewrite the rules. In this setting, you’ll

learn more than the “right answers”; you’ll

learn to ask the “right questions.”

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

The University of Miami is a major research university set in a diverse, international community. The University

is an independent, private, nonsectarian, nonprofit institution of higher learning.

The University of Miami traces its beginnings to 1925 and the origins of the City of Coral Gables. When the city’s

founder, George E. Merrick, helped establish the University, he envisioned an institution of higher learning that

would embrace the best of the Americas. A history of strong institutional leadership has enabled that vision to

triumph. UM has established an international presence in business, medicine, engineering, law, marine sciences,

international studies, communications, and other disciplines.

The University enjoys a well-earned reputation for academic excellence, both for the quality of its students and its

world-renowned faculty. Through numerous innovative programs, the University meets the academic challenges

of a diverse student population representing all 50 states and nearly 150 nations around the globe.

There are more than 15,670 degree-seeking students in approximately 120 undergraduate, 108 Master, 49

Doctoral, and two professional areas of study. There are currently 2,226 full-time faculty members whose ranks

include Guggenheim Fellows, Fulbright Scholars and National Science Foundation recipients. Of this distinguished

faculty, 97 percent hold doctorates or terminal degrees in their fields.

Established in 1929, the School of Business

offered its first MBA degree in 1948. The

School has experienced tremendous growth

since then and, under the leadership of Dean

Barbara Kahn, who joined UM from Wharton

in 2007, the School is pursuing a vision to

achieve global preeminence. This vision is

supported by a strategy built on research

excellence, innovative cross-disciplinary

academic programs and outreach to the global

business community.

First-Class Facilities

The School of Business Administration is

housed in a $24 million award-winning facility.

This modern complex surrounds a tropical

courtyard with picturesque outdoor seating.

Here, you’ll attend class in tiered, stadium-style

classrooms outfitted with high-speed Internet

connections, high-back leather seats and all the

amenities you would expect from a top business

school. You will have access to a virtual library,

a graduate student lounge, soundproof study

rooms and an ultra-modern computer lab – all

dedicated to graduate business students.

In the 300-seat auditorium, you’ll experience

insightful lectures from visiting executives,

presentations from students and faculty, and

expert discussions from top business leaders.

The University of Miami School of Business Administration is a comprehensive business

school acclaimed for the global orientation and diversity of its faculty, students and

curriculum. The School offers undergraduate business, full-time MBA, executive MBA,

MS, PhD, certificate and custom executive education programs at its main campus in
