India was the most active country regarding new MBA programmes and offers last month, but we also want to take a look at what’s new in the US and South America.
The Canadian Schulich School of Business announced a new campus in Hyderabad in the South of India. Schulich will be the first top-ranked Western university opening its doors in India which had made it difficult in the past for foreign education providers to enter the country. Schulich plans to offer its two-year MBA as well as executive education programmes. The business school wants to start with 120 students in September 2013.
The Institute of Management Technology (IMT) also focused its activity in the South Indian city Hyderabad, opening its fourth campus in India and its first in the South of the country in July. IMT Hyderabad will offer a two year, full time Post Graduate Diploma specialising in investment banking and business analytics. Also in July, BSE Training Institute Ltd, in collaboration with Indira Gandhi National Open University, introduced its first MBA - Financial Markets Program, a full time MBA specialising in 'Financial Markets'. The business school is backed by the Bombay Stock Exchange where the new course will also be taught.
In other parts of the world: IESE Business School is taking its executive MBA to Brazil. The course will be taught at Sao Paulo and students will take modules at IESE’s Barcelona and New York campuses.
In the US, George Washington University introduced its MBA programme for professional athletes. The two-year programme is designed for active as well as recently retired athletes.
