Ed.D. (Boston University) MBA (Golden Gate University)
"SJC Leadership MBA program prepares students to lead with integrity in a business environment desperate for meaning and guidance. The courses are integrated and build off the competencies of each course in a way that prepares students for leading transformational change in an ethical and plan full manner. It is a privilege and honor to be associated with a group of students and faculty committed to 'making a difference' in the world."
MS Adult & Organizational Learning (Suffolk University)
"No one disputes how important and indeed invaluable the role of experience is, especially for adult learners. Unfortunately, with its inherent randomness and unpredictability, we are typically limited by our own inability to grasp the true value of our experience within the context of our own perspective. One of the most rewarding aspects of serving as a facilitator in this particular program is knowing that students whose perspectives have been stretched in all directions will dramatically enhance their leadership capacity through their increased ability to critically evaluate and learn from their experience. As a result, students develop a dynamic practice for their own continued leadership development that will serve them forevermore."
"Most MBA programs offer a very structured, tired curriculum that consists of directed and biased thought processes. The Leadership MBA is designed to promote "thinking outside the textbook" through extensive interjection of experience by both learners and facilitators as well as spontaneous and creative perspectives. While the outcomes in the forums have the potential to be tangential, logical and focused thought processes will reign in the occasional straying."
