Last year, the Broad College’s Executive MBA (EMBA) and Full-Time MBA (FTMBA) programs offered unique opportunities for students to build strong corporate connections and expand their worldview. In March 2022, the Broad College made MSU history by hosting the largest education abroad experience ever offered at the university. Through the Global Marketplace international residency , 90 students and alumni traveled to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Broad EMBA students from the Class of 2022 were joined by Class of 2021 alumni, as the Class of 2021 was previously unable to travel due to the pandemic. Over the course of seven days, students and alumni participated in a wide variety of different business experiences and cultural activities. The trek offered active learning opportunities around international culture and business opportunities and challenges in the Middle East. Closer to home, the Broad College’s FTMBA program partnered with furniture industry leader MarxModa for the 2022 Extreme Green Corporate Innovation event, also in March.

Over the past two years, maintaining a positive student experience through a virtual environment was a testament to the Broad College’s commitment to keeping pace with an increasingly virtual academic and professional world. Our online programs continued to rank among the top in the nation last year, embracing expansions and continuing to inspire new possibilities along the way.

In January 2022, the Broad College ranked among the very best in U.S. News & World Report’ s 2022 Best Online Master’s in Business Programs. The Broad College was listed as No. 7 among U.S. public universities and No. 12 overall. This marked an all-time high for the college on this list. In addition to the 100% online Master’s in Management, Strategy and Leadership program, this ranking was expanded to include the Master’s in Marketing Research and the Master’s in Healthcare Management programs. Notably, this ranking also listed the Broad College as No. 3 for Best Online Master’s in Business Programs for Veterans, marking the highest ranking MSU has ever achieved for this category. Concurrent with these achievements, the Broad College continued its forward momentum by launching a brand-new program: our Master’s in Customer Experience Management (MS-CXM), the first program of its kind in North America. The program, conceived by Tom DeWitt , fixed-term faculty in the Department of Marketing and director of the program, fills a need for standardized educational opportunities in customer experience management, an industry that had previously seen ad-hoc skill development. Through the program, working professionals develop different competencies in a 100% online, part-time setting, with 15 courses planned out for five weeks at a time. These students are equipped with knowledge in leading change within their organization to build customer- centric practices and environments. As the educational landscape continues to shift drastically, our online programs are a testament to the Broad College’s ability to embrace change — offering excellent learning opportunities regardless of modality.
