We overhauled our Executive MBA Program!

Upon completion of three successful years since its inception, we have received several constructive feedback from our graduates, students, and other partners. Hence, we are leaving our traditional course format and introducing short-term modular format. In the new format, case methodology will be employed with a special emphasis on Harvard Business School cases. The case methodology employed by our faculty who include well-known academicians and professionals from Turkey and/or abroad.

Compulsory and elective modules carry equal credit hours. Compulsory modules reflect the “must” topics of any MBA program while elective modules are designed to meet the demands of modern business management. In the elective modules, we emphasize innovation, creative thinking, risk management, project management and managerial skills.

The new format is comprised of 14 or 28- hour modules. Each 14-hour module will be completed in week-2 weeknights with 3.5 hours each, and a 7- hour session on the Saturday of the same week. 28-hour modules will be completed in two weeks following the one-week session format. The schedule will be announced before the semester, hence, the flexibility created by the new format will allow our students to choose the modules according to their work schedules each semester.

The new format will be applied to both Turkish and English versions. The curriculum of the new format is provided below.
