Executive MBA in Strategic Design

THE MBA FOR HYBRID THINKERS

Philadelphia University’s pioneering Strategic Design Executive MBA combines the analytical intelligence of business with the creative intelligence of design to develop hybrid thinkers who are able to identify opportunities and solve complex business challenges across industry sectors.

Students from diverse business, technology and design backgrounds apply design thinking and design principles — married with cutting-edge business analytical tools — to deliver smart, desirable, feasible and marketable product, process and business model innovations.

The challenges in today’s business world have become increasingly complex and ambiguous in nature; solutions need to extend beyond product innovation to encompass business processes, organizational structure, operational approaches and service delivery. By applying the integrative design method traditionally applied to the design of products to design innovative solutions for services, marketing, finance and operational challenges in a business, solutions are developed, which are more functional, elegant, creative, efficient and profitable.

EXECUTIVE EDUCATION

Designed specifically for high-potential professionals — typically with five or more years of experience — this executive MBA program is a low-residency, hybrid program where each course requires only eight days on campus. The program includes 10 courses in 16 months divided into four modules: frameworks, processes, implementation and the summative project.

With energetic innovators and thought leaders as fellow students, and faculty who blend state-of-the art practitioner experience with excellence in the classroom, graduates exit the program with a ready-made network capable of bringing long-term value to themselves and their organizations that extends well beyond the formal material covered.
