After planning and developing ideas for the last several years, Loyola University's Sellinger School of Business and Management has announced its brand new Emerging Leaders Masters in Business Administration graduate program, the first of its kind in the Baltimore area, to begin fall 2010.
This full-time, 12-month-long, 18-course and 46-credit program will combine the traditional MBA learning components with experiential learning that will immerse the graduates in field experience throughout the 12-month program.
Unlike the typical MBA programs offered at Loyola and other universities nationwide that many people decide to undertake after several years of work experience, the ELMBA is targeted at recent undergraduates who have little to no work experience and are seeking a graduate degree that will give them that extra experience while trying to begin their careers.
With the enrolled student having little work experience, it was crucial for the curriculum of the program to blend together the basics of a traditional MBA program with the Jesuit core values and missions that Loyola is built upon. Additionally, the program designers felt it necessary that they incorporate real business interaction that the traditional programs do not offer.
"I am especially excited about leading and supporting the experiential components of the curriculum, which will highlight engagement in the business community, international study, consulting projects and more. I also look forward to leading and supporting the program's academic content that reflects the University's Jesuit mission. Courses will explore ethics, social responsibility, sustainability and global citizenship," says Andrea Giampetro-Meyer, the first academic director of ELMBA and current chair and professor of the department of law and social responsibility in the Sellinger School.
In addition to Professor Giampetro-Meyer's responsibility of planning and implementing the curriculum, other designers of the program are Ms. Ann Attanasio, the new ELMBA Program Director, and other Sellinger professors, including Paul Tallon, Charles Scott and Harsha Desai.
