The MBA Experience: it’s all about choices.

Beyond grades, deadlines,

and projects, at its core the

Boston University School of

Management is about a sense

of place and community. It’s

about expressing yourself—

nurturing that well-rounded

person within and creating

relationships that will last

a lifetime.

Our master’s programs allow you to tailor your studies to your career aspirations. Our distinctly personalized approach offers you more paths to your degree than almost any other school. In addition to outstanding options for full-time MBA study, you can benefit from the wealth of resources at Boston University by pursuing one of our dual degree programs.

Beginning in Fall 2013, the Two-Year MBA experience will include a more concentrated core curriculum so that you can begin to explore your specialty earlier in the program. You’ll build comprehensive knowledge of management disciplines that prepares you to engage the forces transforming the global economy. And you’ll acquire the global and ethical frameworks you’ll need in a world facing massive economic, commercial, and social challenges.

30750.indd 4 7/19/12 7:31 PM

The new curriculum is divided into four primary elements:

Pre-Core integrates you into our vibrant School with an orientation that introduces key learning themes and establishes skills that will carry through your entire MBA experience.

Core CurriCulum delivers management essentials through three integrated and efficient course modules, interspersed with project work, during your first year. These modules will introduce you to:

•organizationsasawhole;

•howfunctionscontributetoorganizations;and

•howtostrategicallyposition,manage,andleadorganizationsforsuccess.

exPloration module provides the opportunity, before your summer internship, to complete up to three elective courses at the end of your firstyearandshapeapersonalizedcourseofstudythatsuitsyourinterestsand aspirations.

Post-Core engages you in community building and offers the freedom tospecializeyourcourseworkinyoursecondyearofstudywhileprovidinga distinctive and structured experience on ethical leadership in a global economy. You’ll gain deeper sector and functional knowledge and take elective coursework tailored to your post-graduation goals.

Add China, subtract nine months.

By choosing the One-Year International MBA (IMBA), you can earn your MBA in 12 months and immerse yourself in a multicultural experience in China with classmates from around the world. IMBA students start with summer coursework—presented in intensive formats—in Shanghai and Beijing before arriving in Boston for the start of the fall semester. During site visits in China, you’ll immerse yourself in local culture and business practices, compare alternative management methods, and contribute to team projects with fellow students.

If you choose our Two-Year MS•MBA Program (MBA and MS in Information Systems) or a specialty in Public & Nonprofit Management or Health Sector Management, you’ll be able to furtherpersonalizeyourcourseof study to match your goals.

Rachel never saw herself as “the business school type,” but after six years of working in both higher education at Stanford University and for a K-12 focused nonprofit, she learned two things. First, thatshelovedmission-drivenorganizations,andsecond,thatmanyoftheseorganizationslackedthe resources and management training to fully deliver on their missions. “There are so many talented people out there who want to work with youth and have the power to literally transform lives.Iwanttobuildorganizationsthatwillfacilitate their work instead of obstruct it, so we can help all of our kids live up to their potential.”

Rachel Alexander (MBA’13)Public & Nonprofit ManagementSan Francisco, California

Annemarie came to Boston University from Germany, where she had been working to help China become more energy efficient and green, specifically with regard to food products, while at the same time running her own consulting business focused on servicing food companies. She chose to attend BU because it gave her the opportunity to receive two degrees, an MBA and an MS in information systems (all in 21 months), while also pursuing her other passion: entrepreneurship. “BU provides a great experience to learn key skills within both degrees.”

Annemarie DeCharles (MS·MBA’13)Information SystemsHamburg, Germany

Mike spent the seven years leading up to his MBA cofounding a family business in the Middle East, establishing offices in Dubai, UAE, and Doha, Qatar. He chose the One-Year International MBA because he wanted an accelerated program that would allow him to quickly return to the real world to launch a new venture. The experience of living in Beijing and Shanghai for three months was icing on the cake. “I’ve found that simply being able to talk about my experience living and learning in China has become a major advantage in doing business. The School isn’t just a great business school but also a great management program.”

After serving for the Commander, US Pacific Fleet in the US Navy, Patrick came to Boston University,recognizedthestrengthandsupportof the military network within the BU community, and saw an opportunity. Along with several other MBA students who shared similar backgrounds, he helped launch the Boston University Veterans Association. “The social and networking aspects of business school are equally important as the academic courses. Your classmates will become your colleagues and peers in the future, and establishing strong bonds in a social atmosphere is critical to developing a well-rounded professional network.”

Patrick Reilley (MBA’13)General ManagementHonolulu, Hawaii

With a neuroscience and premed background, and more than four years of experience in clinical sales, it was only natural for Morgan to apply to Boston University’s Health Sector MBA. “I feel as though it allowed me to put all my experiences together, build my skills, and position myself to have a wider impact.” In January 2012, she took advantage of the India Field Seminar trip, which allowed her to explore India and participate in site visits to experience technology and bio-pharma development, effective service delivery with limited resources, and witness the role of entrepreneurial initiative in complex environments, all firsthand.

Morgan Sessoms (MBA’13)Health Sector ManagementPeabody, Massachusetts

After working as a TV producer for several years, Phil saw that an MBA could set him apart. He says the BU dual degree MBA/MS in Media Ventures was a real differentiator. He liked the student diversity, the closeness of teamwork, and combining a broad business background with a deeper dive into the latest media technology and practices. “Starting with seed money won in a student competition, my partners and I cofounded Applified, Inc., and I’m now leading the development of its first product, a mobile app called Jaxx aimed at men and their groups of friends.”

Interviews

After submitting an application, most candidates are invited to interview with us.

We are committed to admitting superior students who will complement each other in our cross-functional, team-learning environment and will continue to support one another long after graduation.
