About the School
| Boston University School of Management Mission Statement
The School develops new ideas and insights for scholars and practitioners through its faculty’s research; and by fusing the art, science, and technology of business in our teaching, we impart knowledge of business disciplines with a unique cross-functional perspective to prepare ethical, innovative leaders for the good of society worldwide. Our students acquire advanced teaming skills, appreciate the impact of management systems, and understand the strategic and operating applications of new technologies. |
To make your mark in today’s networked enterprise, you need to be able to anticipate change, harness it, and make it work for your organization.
That kind of vision can only come from your ability to see the enterprise as a whole system. And from analytical skills that reveal interconnections and intersections—not just as they are today, but how they could evolve tomorrow. It’s a vision that emerges in leaders who have learned to build teams that work.
At Boston University School of Management, interdependency and long-term impact pervade teaching and learning at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, and executive. Graduates of every program stand out as builders and leaders. They rise rapidly in their careers. And they develop the staying power needed in an era when technological advancement drives innovation and competitive advantage—in every department of every organization, in all sectors.
The School has changed the face of management education by building on our deep and broad strength in information technology. We use that strength and experience to drive and support our curriculum. We create interdependence between what we teach and how we teach it. The result: a pioneering approach to management development.
Here are just two of the many reasons our departments and programs rank among the top, nationally and internationally.
The MS·MBA produces future CEOs and entrepreneurs who effect change by tapping into the strategic alliance between information technology systems and business management. The MS·MBA attracts driven students with both non-technical and technical backgrounds. It is so innovative—yet so fundamental—that other business schools are beginning to emulate it.
Team Learning was born out of our research: throwing a handful of people together to sink or swim doesn’t work. We’ve spent years perfecting an approach in which students learn both in teams and about teams. Their success is reflected in our recruitment statistics—and other business schools are beginning to notice. Every year, more and more attend our curriculum conferences and license our proprietary team learning software.
