The mission of the Executive MBA Program is to produce graduates able to function effectively in managerial and leadership roles in various sectors of the economy, in government or private organizations, and who demonstrate a competitive level of functional knowledge of all areas of business administration, possess the intellectual ability to analyze and evaluate complex business processes in local and global contexts, and have the skills to create and manage sustainable business projects. Graduates will also develop the ability to think independently and apply reflective and experiential learning.
Middle and top level managers are responsible for making the strategic choices that shape the future of their organizations and, therefore, must meet these challenges by keeping abreast of the latest changes in management technology while broadening their basic understanding of all facets of the firm and its various operating environments. One of the most effective resources for keeping up-to-date and being prepared for change is a well-planned educational program.
The CERT/HCT Executive MBA is designed to enhance existing skills and develop new skills for experienced managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs, enabling them to become more effective leaders in their business organization whether it is large or small, public or private, for-profit or not-for-profit, or product or service oriented. Our Executive MBA is unique with its emphasis on the acquisition of core competencies combined with the opportunity to study electives in the critical areas such as Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management.
The CERT/HCT Executive MBA is designed for managers who possess initiative coupled with intellectual abilities. It allows persons in responsible managerial, professional, and entrepreneurial positions to continue in those positions while being involved in the program.
More importantly, our approach to graduate business education fosters an innovative and dynamic learning environment where participants feel secure about experimenting and expressing solutions or ideas about real business problems that they have either encountered in the past or are currently facing. The Executive MBA Program teaches participants to think analytically, see change as an opportunity, view problems as challenges, generate creative solutions, build upon their strengths, and improve upon their short comings as they further their management careers.
The curriculum is an integrated sequence of courses that combines teaching the principles of academic theory with the application of these principles to complex business problems. The curriculum includes:
- Courses that summarize fundamental concepts and tools of modern business management.
- Courses that develop a student’s capacity for making strategic decisions and judgments across all areas of their business.
- Courses that operationalize the specific areas of e.g. Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management.
In summary, our purpose is to provide the knowledge and skills that are fundamental to executive leadership. This purpose is accomplished by creating a learning environment that enables the application of core business knowledge in team-oriented, applied curriculum settings stressing problem solving, decision making, leadership, and strategic planning underscored with both an entrepreneurial and ethical emphasis.
