MESSAGE FROM THE ACADEMIC DIRECTOR
  IMADEC® University's Executive MBA program has achieved distinction by attracting highly renowned professors from all over the globe. Students benefit not only from exposure to world-class business education content, but more importantly, they gain lasting insights from interacting with those distinguished individuals who are the originators of that content.

The Elective Courses taught by the visiting faculty are designed to integrate theory and practice. Professors, who are also frequently advisors to major corporations, small and

medium-sized enterprises, financial institutions, trade associations, and governments have won recognition precisely because their academic achievements have proven to be relevant to the solution of problems which leaders in business and government are called upon to solve.

As open-minded practitioners of their disciplines, IMADEC® Professors highly value the feedback which comes from engaging in focused dialogue with students who are themselves professionals holding positions of responsibility as managers and decision-makers in a variety of organizations.

By completing courses in the Core Curriculum,  the student  is prepared to appreciate and understand the key concepts and case studies which form the subject matter of the Elective Courses offered by international faculty. Students are thus positioned to exercise the exceptionally valuable option to access outstanding scholars who are unique in their ability to enable qualified students to broaden and deepen their knowledge of particular topics of interest.

Members of the resident faculty, many of whom are also practitioners engaged as consultants to private and public sector organizations, may also offer electives in their area of specialization; however, their primary focus is on ensuring that  students achieve high levels of competency and develop strong basic skills in general management, marketing, accounting and finance.

The student's command of the content of the Core Curriculum is an assurance that the business education received at IMADEC® University is comparable to that at leading business schools. By being prepared to take Elective Courses with outstanding guest professors of IMADEC® University, the student has an incomparable chance to supremely enhance the Executive MBA experience.
