M.B.A. — Entrepreneurship Emphasis
Master's degree36 semester credit hours · 12 coursesAmerican-style curriculum · cohort-based, facilitator-led
This M.B.A. carries the classic general-management core — accounting, finance, marketing, operations, strategy, leadership — but its emphasis is unambiguous: creation. Coursework runs through startup strategy, venture financing, business-model innovation and market validation.
The capstone is not a paper. Each student develops an actual venture plan with proof-of-concept evidence — a business that could genuinely be started, in the region or from it.
