Graziadio Business School MBA Programs

A step beyond the traditional Executive MBA, the Presidents and Key Executives MBA is for C-level, senior and business owner executives charged with strategic decision-making and bottom line results. During the program, established executives and entrepreneurs are invited to think deeply about their legacy and work alongside peers from diverse industry backgrounds and accomplished faculty mentors to lead their organization to the next level.

Throughout the 15-month experience, students meet monthly for boardroom-style discussions with peers and travel abroad to engage with global industry leaders and government officials. Using their own business as case studies, students cultivate the knowledge needed to purposefully create corporate culture and business strategy that address fundamental issues of learning, productivity, and quality. In this unique program, participants challenge and support each other, building relationships that will last a lifetime.

Testimonials

Bob Mosbaugh PKE Alumni

And as much as I've benefited from my MBA, I also learned that success is more about significance than substance. As a result of my MBA program, I've asked myself how I can become more meaningful. I've found great joy in working with the institution that played such an important role in my life."

Bob Mosbaugh, PKE MBA Alumnus

FAQs

What does the Live Case Study entail?

Executives study their own businesses as case studies and leave with an actionable strategic plan. One of the key requirements for graduation from the PKE MBA program is completion of a series of written projects culminating in a strategy formulation and implementation document written for the participant's organization. 

The integrated series of projects is expected to demonstrate the participant's mastery of program content and reflects a capacity to craft and implement the strategy. A project team of one faculty member and a class advisor will be assigned to each student during the first trimester to ensure the quality of these projects as a learning experience.

This session will involve eight days of travel to a foreign country and onsite company visits.
