Highly differentiated business degree focuses on leadership for the common good <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Canadian Mennonite University is pleased to introduce\u00a0the second of two new graduate studies programs to launch for the 2015\/16 academic year. In addition to the recently unveiled Master of Arts in Peacebuilding and Collaborative Development, CMU announces its participation in a Collaborative Masters of Business Administration program.<\/p>\n

\"CMBAThe Collaborative MBA is an accredited online program jointly offered by Eastern Mennonite University, Goshen College, Bluffton University, and CMU. Built on six core values\u2014honouring community, leading as service, upholding justice, planning for sustainability, global citizenship, and growing spiritually\u2014classes are delivered in\u00a0synchronous<\/em>\u00a0(live video conferencing) and\u00a0asynchronous<\/em>\u00a0(online learning\/information sharing outside of the constraints of time and place) to accommodate both learning and employment<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world needs new sustainable business models. Call it\u00a0\u2018capitalism for the common good\u2019. Models that focus on the triple bottom line of people, planets, and profit,\u201d says Jim\u00a0Smucker, program director.<\/p>\n

Mating business principles with an emphasize on sustainability, self-awareness, and making a profit without harm to people or the environment, the Collaborative MBA program is unique in its approach.<\/p>\n

The curriculum is based on the concept of \u201cLeadership for the Common Good.\u201d Divided into nine core courses and three courses directly related to one of the eight concentration areas, the 26-hour program is typically completed in 22-24 months. With global citizenship as a core value, a one-week international residency is integrated into the coursework to provide students with a global perspective and context for an on-going case study for the entire Collaborative MBA curriculum.<\/p>\n

As a joint-program of four faith-rooted institutions, the program boasts a diversity of business professors with varied backgrounds, interests, and expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Collaborative MBA is a logical extension to CMU\u2019s Redekop School of Business,\u201d says Zerbe. \u201cCMU\u2019s undergraduate and graduate business programs offer unique perspective on how business can be successfully carried out with a with a value-based sensitivity and outlook that considers more than just dollars and cents.\u201d<\/p>\n
