Chicago Executive MBA Moves to Historic Santa Fe Building A Chicago landmark became the new home of the Chicago Executive MBA program in January 2007 when the program moved to the Santa Fe Building on South Michigan Avenue. After renovations are complete, the facility will offer students larger, tiered classrooms, around-the-clock access to team study rooms and more amenities. The building is owned by the University and will house the Chicago alumni and development offices. Founded in 2002, Notre Dame’s EMBA program is now the third largest executive MBA program in Chicago behind Northwestern and the University of Chicago.
Executive MBA Program Ranked #20 by BusinessWeek Notre Dame’s South Bend Executive MBA Program was ranked 20th in BusinessWeek magazine’s biennial survey of 241 programs worldwide in 2005. According to the report, “...students gave the program kudos for its enthusiastic faculty, high-caliber classmates, and special emphasis on corporate governance, ethics and leadership.” Students attend classes from noon Wednesday to Saturday afternoon once a month and complete the degree requirements in two years. The program is also available via distance learning technology to students in Cincinnati. Signature Program in Values-Based Leadership More than 900 executives have participated in the one-week Executive Integral Leadership experience since it was launched five years ago. The program, held on campus twice a year, equips participants with tools and changed perspectives to resolve complex strategic issues in a principled manner. Through assessments, interactive group work and reflective exercises, professionals gain self-understanding along seven dimensions: cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, values, moral, spiritual and physical. Participants included seasoned professionals from business, health care and engineering, among other fields.
Custom Programs Held On Campus and Onsite From Southern California to Washington, D.C., to the Giovanini Commons learning center in the Mendoza College, the Executive Education team delivered custom programs for a wide variety of corporations and organizations in locations best suited to their goals. This past year, Executive Education developed programs to help health-care professionals deal with increasing complexity and to promote mission; presentations on ethics for financial services professionals; and a leadership program for naval leaders.
