The Mini MBA
Our most popular program is now available in an online format for Fall 2020 and several new elements are being offered for the first time!
Enjoy a highly interactive experience via Zoom every Monday evening this fall as Robins School faculty lead discussions on leading topics in business.
For the first time, each student will have an opportunity to schedule monthly meetings with professional coaches who will be available to assist with questions related to careers, managing others, running a business or department, and more.
In addition, participants in the Mini MBA will be invited to join educational and networking opportunities that had previously been offered only to MBA students and alumni.
Finally, we are partnering with Goodwill to explore a live case study throughout the semester. Students will have a chance to apply what they learn to a fascinating non-profit organization.
This is a great opportunity to get to know the faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the Robins School and to build your professional network in a community of ambitious professionals.
