Full-Time MBA Program BUSINESS EDUCATION REIMAGINED.
Prepare to lead in a digitally-driven economy. Today, every company is a technology company, with machine intelligence and data analytics continuously redefining how, when, and where we do business. To lead in this landscape of digital convergence, you need to act quickly and nimbly, learn to distinguish hype from trend, and manage technologically driven change—before change manages you. A conventional business education won’t prepare you to excel in this environment. Our Full-Time MBA program will. In our program, you’ll integrate foundational business knowledge with a deep understanding of the future of technological advancement. This will prepare you to be the entrepreneurial leader that today’s business world demands.
Global. Entrepreneurial. Relentlessly curious. That’s what sets our graduates apart and makes them ready to succeed in a digital economy. Our Full-Time MBA is designed to ignite and expand that mindset in every student in our program. Experience is at the heart of everything we do. Northeastern is the world leader in experience-powered learning, integrating classroom study with professional experience. Learn from seasoned business leaders, consult with one of our corporate partners locally or abroad, launch a business through our venture accelerator IDEA, or help manage part of the university’s endowment through the 360 Huntington Fund. Northeastern’s corporate residency offers you invaluable professional insights through experience. You’ll work on real projects and make significant contributions. 100% of our students complete a corporate residency. You can choose a 3-month, 6-month, or a full 12-month residency. Our one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary MBA x concentrations. MBA x concentrations provide you graduate-level knowledge and skills in another area, such as Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, and Data Visualization. You’ll complete a 12 credit concentration through a partnership with one of Northeastern’s professional colleges. Thirteen business concentrations that build your expertise. Business concentrations continue to be evaluated and added to meet market demand, and include analytics, brand management, business management for healthcare, corporate finance, corporate innovation, entrepreneurship, international business, investments, leading people & organizations, marketing, marketing analytics, operations and supply chain management, and sustainability and business. Electives offered through Northeastern’s other professional graduate schools. Instead of the rigid set of business course requirements of most MBA programs, our program offers you the chance to take graduate level courses in your field offered by five of Northeastern’s professional colleges. In this way, you’ll not only expand your business expertise but also ensure you have the depth of knowledge in your field that employers seek. Topics range to include econometrics, product prototyping, and data visualization.
POWERED BY EXPERIENCE
Your Corporate Residency Waits Becoming a leader in your field takes more than classroom experience. It requires knowledge that comes only from an immersive, MBA-level experience. That’s why we integrate a three-, six-, or up to 12-month corporate residency directly into our program. Your corporate residency will prepare you to meet the demands and challenges of today’s technology-driven business world. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill summer internship, it’s far beyond that. Not only because of the projects you will be trusted to undertake, but because of the opportunity you’ll have to make a lasting impact on business goals. As a valuable part of a start-up or corporate team, you’ll be fully integrated in your company and work side by side with full-time staff to deliver on business goals. You’ll be given significant responsibilities, work on projects that are business critical and will be asked to deliver valuable work that truly makes an impact. Your corporate residency will give you skills, confidence, and a lifetime of valuable connections. That’s the D’Amore-McKim approach to business education— integrating theory and practice to prepare you for a world being transformed by technology.

Experience from Start to Finish For more than a century, we’ve been inspired by a simple truth: experience deepens learning and discovery like nothing else can. This fundamental belief is anchored with our corporate residency and prevails throughout our program. Three of your 15 elective credits will be expressly experiential in nature. You’ll meet with guest lecturers who are industry insiders and dive deep into impactful case studies. You’ll select from a distinct list of experience-fueled learning opportunities. This model enables you to gain a global perspective while encouraging intellectual development, innovative thinking, and personal growth. Meaningful, practical learning is truly part of everything we do at D’Amore-McKim.
