The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is one of the critical links in fulfilling ADSM‘s mission to develop entrepreneurial managers who can enhance their existing managerial capacity and also to encourage the growth of entrepreneurial ventures in the UAE.
Aimed at prospective MBAs who demonstrate entrepreneurial behaviors, ADSM develops global leaders with a strong business foundation and an entrepreneurial mindset. The driven MBA team of faculty and staff members do this by combining a holistic integration of the traditional business disciplines and an approach to teaching the entrepreneurial thought process. In addition to the General Stream, ADSM offers its MBA students seven concentrations to choose from. As a result, the MBA graduates succeed in a broad spectrum of global organizations needing leaders with a relentless bias for action, an ability to create opportunities in a variety of contexts, and the entrepreneurial skill to drive results and run businesses at optimal heights, as follows:
All MBA students—whether in the General Stream or a Concentration Stream—are required to complete the following common components: seven core courses, two SLE (Strategic Learning Experience) courses, and two Research-Based Consultancy Project courses. Together, these courses account for 20 of the 30 total credit hours required for the MBA program.
