About the MBA Roundtable

The MBA Roundtable serves as a catalyst for thought leadership on MBA curricular design and innovation. The organization seeks to:

Through its activities and research the MBA Roundtable examines many curricular dimensions - from change processes, to design, to learning outcomes - all within the context of global environmental factors such as student demographics and the current market environment. These elements interact to shape curricular offerings and characterize the MBA degree.

The MBA Roundtable was founded in 1995 by a group of twelve leading business schools. As interest in the organization and its mission increased, the Roundtable was formally established as a nonprofit in 1999. The Roundtable functions under the guidance of a board of directors comprised of faculty members, directors, and deans at graduate business programs.

A member-driven organization, the work of the MBA Roundtable is funded through annual business school memberships. Our 150+ member schools represent graduate business programs throughout the U.S. and the world. The Roundtable invites the participation of any program striving to provide the best possible management education for the particular market it is serving. We encourage many voices, as good ideas and innovations spring from many sources.
