American University Redesigns MBA Program
Think you know American University’s Kogod School of Business? Think again.
Kogod is overhauling its MBA program to match the changing climate of global business. Next fall, entering students will embark on a revamped curriculum meant to prepare students to lead at home and abroad.
Among the program’s new international offerings are a new two-week capstone course, Management in the International Economy, and a study abroad requirement.
But Kogod isn’t forgetting about its strengths on the home front. Capitalizing on its DC locale, Kogod is enhancing its offerings at the intersection of the public and private sector. Meanwhile, its strengths in consulting will be enriched with an improved consulting track, and a hands-on International Consulting Project.
All this should make Kogod not only DC’s MBA program with the coolest name, but also, according to American University, one of the most applicable and relevant.
“The idea is to provide the opportunity for students to open themselves up to changing their mindset and immerse themselves in new ways of thinking,” said associate professor Mark Clark. “DC is home to a huge community of businesses working alongside the government. All those partnerships and collaborations, that’s what makes the city hum.”
We were wondering what that sound was. Check back at MetroMBA for all your DC MBA news!
