The Global Executive MBA program is designed for experienced managers who want to increase their knowledge and skills without interrupting their careers, and the cooperation of their home company is vital to their success. To secure a place in the program and meet the requirements for the degree, you need to guarantee the full cooperation of your employer. Your company must agree to give you the time off you need to complete the seven residential sessions, and it should be willing to discuss options for financial assistance or sponsorship.

You are welcome to contact IESE for help with building a case to obtain company support, as well as for more information about company support requirements.
