The PRESIDENTIAL and Key Executive (PKE) MBA program is designed to create tremendous improvements in an executive's functional performance. Structured around a small-class format, this program imparts the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve the following objectives:
- Effectively lead and inspire high-level performance
- Anticipate opportunities and challenges in business environments to assess potential impacts on the organization
- Create and balance bold visions with effective strategy and efficient implementation
- Demonstrate appreciation for cross-national cultures and their impact on strategic and tactical implementation in global competition
- Ensure ethical fulfillment in the customers' and stakeholders' needs
- Integrate the individual and learning community experiences of the program for leadership effectiveness in business, community and life
Cohort of Colleagues
The PKE MBA program utilizes a "cohort" format, meaning your classmates remain together as a group throughout the 20-month program. This approach allows you to foster lifelong professional and personal connections with other key business leaders. Colleagues are committed to the development of one another's skills, knowledge and executive leadership. Classes generally consist of about 18-25 executives.
Civic Leadership
