Master of Business Operational Excellence
Is an MBOE right for me?

MBOE simulation 2019

Our students are busy, working professionals from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and industries, and they possess varying knowledge of operational excellence systems.

Recent classes have included line managers, C-suite executives, practicing physicians, attorneys and working professionals from aviation, education, public service, finance, government, health care, insurance and manufacturing, to name a few. And with backgrounds in finance, marketing, analytics, retail, information technology, supply chain and sales, among others, our students bring a wealth of experience and insight that transcend siloed thinking that can deter organizations from discovering untapped value.

The collaborative interactivity built into the MBOE program instills a passion for continuous improvement and harnesses the disruptive energy of change that powers industries worldwide. View the upcoming cohort calendar.

In 2022, we followed three students, Amy, Joe and Brandon. Watch their MBOE journey unfold, and the transformation that occurred during the 13 months.
