is vastly different from anything the world has

seen so far. Managers routinely cross disciplines. Technology is

all-important. Anything worth doing is done by teams. Innovation is

required. Everything is globalyet the spirit of collaboration drives

businesses to create new centers of innovation.

The Lally Schools entire structure mirrors the

shape of tomorrows business. The curriculum forces

of each. Most of your work happens in teams. Student-directed

Behind this approach is our focus on streams of knowledge:

the spirit of enterprise to make things happen.

marketing, operations, and other disciplines. But by studying

streams of knowledge, you will be able to synergize those

disciplines to create new value-added solutions.

One classroom. Many professors.

Because our classes cross disciplines, so do our teaching teams.

MBA classes include professors in a range of fields, from design and

manufacturing to marketing and finance. Among these professors

both distinguished researchers and clinical faculty who have excelle

in business themselves. Together, they bring a blended learning

approach that combines state-of-the-art abstract concepts with

practical insights into contemporary business practices. And the

programs small size enables you to make the most of their expertis

As a result of this approach, you explore each issue from every ang

In the process, you encounter the environment you will face after

graduationand learn how to succeed in it.

Not just courses. Streams of knowledge.
