Thomas Heim Sep 22, 2010 12:01 PM GMT These programs are continuing to grow and grow in popularity. Smith School at UMD just added one. I've been compiling a full list of mini-MBA programs in the US and around the world. See it at http://www.minimba.co

It encompasses all business functions of the global enterprise, a series of highly relevant, hands-on sessions galvanize your problem solving, team building, and change management skills.

Exec Sep 18, 2009 6:48 PM GMT I'm currently an employed executive and have some need of MBA skills and knowledge. I can't afford to sacrifice two years to get an MBA, but getting a Mini-MBA certification may be enough to get me going. I also think this will help my resume as it compliments my experience.

PRFT B-schools as you know are looking for gullible applicants each year, and merrier for the coming years, as the job markets turned ugly, and endowments not so clean-cut. Mini MBAs should surface though it satellite campus communities, ie NYU is a candidate for this. It's Stern Business can offer mini-courses instructed by Full time MBAs who are looking for a clean way to pay for field trips in expensive cities without picking their pockets, can hopefully be placed in these roles to teach Business (and not like Harvardians going to Korea to teach English) at the moment this summer, and what a nice way to hob-nob in the Middle East with expenses paid--the mini MBA customers can pay for the costs supporting the lavish lifestyles of these folks.UAE, China, Dubai, Israel, are all good places where mini -MBA courses can be taught. You water down the quality by cutting the program short, so you are ultimately making the 2 year MBA program which is already short and I find that the MBAs at most schools only skim the surface and do not go deep enough as some other Masters do (ie, Economics, Financial Economics/Engineering, CS and slew of other scientific ones)

aveek guha Aug 21, 2009 8:07 PM GMT The mini MBA serves a purpose - lot of actionable content you can use immediately and doesn't take semesters of course work. I think we'll start seeing different MBA tracks - one for the professional that is looking for a 'skills polish' and another for career changersAveek Guha, President, MBA Day Campwww.mbadaycamp.com

Duke Grad Aug 19, 2009 5:57 PM GMT I just completed my Master of Engineerng Management from Duke Fuqua School of business last year and found the course a pretty much like an MBA,but for only one year!!! You get all the resources of a B school,plus you can network with fellow B-School grads and even sit for the campus placements!!! Its not a traditional MBA but I think a better option than this 'mini' MBA.
