Capella’s MBA well geared to today’s workplace |
As part of the efforts to gear their MBA for the changing needs of global companies, Capella University asked executives in Fortune 500 corporations and industry people
to describe the ideal manager.
What they received in feedback was that the respondents wanted team leaders - people who knew how to build relationships and manage change. Survey results indicated that many preferred people with a full range of professional and personal skills--not just pure theoretical understanding. In other words, those who walk the talk.
The Capella MBA
Named in the 2001 U.S. News & World Report's list of the Best Online Graduate Programs, Capella University's Business School has established corporate partnerships with more than 650 organizations around the world that offer employee tuition reimbursement.
The re-engineered MBA program is based on the real world criteria provided by the same Fortune 500 companies and the managers who work in them.
With the addition of a Professional Effectiveness Core to the classic MBA disciplines of marketing, finance, and operations to train candidates in the execution of skills such as leading teams, facilitating change, and negotiating for results. These are the skills heard time and again that set the best managers apart.
The programme has also included a Professional Effectiveness Coaching process that tracks in parallel with the curriculum. Throughout the MBA program, experiences with peer, faculty, and group coaching are designed to assess the strengths and weaknesses, push the individual to stretch their skill set, and focus their work to impact corporate results immediately. Ultimately, the coaching process helps them reposition their career for the next step.
The end result: an MBA program that delivers
the skills that really matter - the skills that companies and their managers
actually want.
