Why the XMBA?

Reason #4: The XMBA Family

XMBA students are welcomed into the Williams College of Business family of faculty, staff, and administrators from day one of the program. As family members rooted in the Jesuit tradition, we encourage the progression of the XMBA students throughout the program by offering as much assistance and support as we can. That's why we handle all of the administrative details including registering XMBA students for classes, purchasing campus parking permits, ordering and delivering textbooks, and providing lunch during class meetings. As part of the family, XMBA students also have access to the same facilities and services as faculty and staff which no other students can enjoy, including the Williams College of Business kitchen stocked with coffee, soda and snacks. Furthermore, the classroom for the XMBA program is equipped with all the technological needs a student would desire including wireless access to the Xavier University network for personal laptops. During orientation we even bring in a team of network engineers to make sure every student's laptop is properly configured to work on campus. The bottom line is that we understand the demands of the XMBA student and we try to make everything else as simple as possible so that you can focus on your education without worrying about the administrative details of your graduate degree.

The family treatment doesn't end with graduation. XMBA alumni join a strong and talented group of over 1,000 XMBA graduates. Even as CEOs, C-level executives, or retirees, many XMBA alumni find the time to stay connected with the Williams College of Business and the XMBA program through various activities and events. As an XMBA alum, this powerful network of professionals in addition to continuous executive education opportunities will be at your fingertips.

"The work is tough, but the people at Williams take care of a lot of the details. They gave me what I needed." - Tom Stevenson, Class of 2007
