Why the XMBA?

Reason #3: Unique XMBA Design

In particular, the XMBA program is designed for experienced professionals who have demanding work schedules and who are on track for leadership positions within their organization. Because we are so selective for the XMBA program, we guarantee XMBA participants will be surrounded by the most experienced and brightest student peers. In fact, XMBA students have an average of 21 years of work experience, including 14 years of management experience. Additionally, for a program that frequently blends classroom instruction with group projects and real world experience, the value of having a strong cohort and support system distinctive to the XMBA program is immeasurable. The XMBA program is the only program that will offer this unique learning environment.

"The opportunity to network with other high caliber XMBA students has been phenomenal, without this program I would have never crossed paths with the majority of the students." - Amy Kappen, Class of 2008

The characteristic makeup of each cohort can vary significantly, but each is consistently diverse in terms of experience and backgrounds. Students have consisted of small business owners to executives within Fortune 500 companies. Some come from engineering backgrounds with no formal business background, while others have been operating within the business world for forty plus years. As diverse as the groups may be the common characteristic is the desire to succeed and the commitment to change.
