Our Mission

The Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable is a global association of business schools whose mission is to advance graduate management education through curricular and co-curricular innovation.  We create forums to challenge, debate, and shape the future of graduate management education (GME) curricular design, equip business school faculty and administrators with the knowledge and resources needed to advance GME curricular and programmatic innovation, and promote and recognize GME curricular achievement, change and innovation
 

Insights

“Curriculum based symposiums, academic research, timely webinars, and benchmarking surveys provide significant insights enabling our school leadership to make informed decisions regarding where and how to invest in order to improve the education of our graduate business students today and in the future.”
C. Michael Stepanek, Managing Director, MBA Programs, Executive Director, Academics and Operations, Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Inspiration

“The Roundtable is the go-to organization for those that provide strategic direction for their MBA program.   The MBA Roundtable provides leadership, tools and programming to help programs navigate the complexities of MBA curriculum revision.  Without the MBA Roundtable network, MBA leaders would struggle to stay ahead of what the MBA market requires and expects.”
Monica S. Powell, PhD, Senior Associate Dean & Graduate Dean, University of Texas at Dallas, Naveen Jindal School of Management

Interaction

“The Roundtable has been a great source of information and networking for us. We are excited to continue as a member school. “
Lenay Johnson, Director, Admissions and Recruitment, Graduate and Professional Programs, C.T. Bauer College of Business, University of Houston

Chairperson's Welcome

Welcome to the Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable!  We are a highly engaged community of academic directors, faculty, and program leaders actively driving curricular and co-curricular innovation in graduate management education. We share in common a deeply held belief in the power of graduate management education to transform leaders, in the power of transformed leaders to transform their organizations, and in the power of transformed organizations to transform the world. With over 25 years of research, educational workshops, and webinars along with our popular annual curricular innovation symposium, we provide a rich menu of benefits to our member schools as well as to the GME industry as a whole. We support our members and the industry in addressing the challenge of meeting the ever-changing needs of MBA and Specialized Masters’ students, alumni, faculty, administrators, and corporate partners.  We hope you join us as a member institution and become part of this incredible community of colleagues and friends.

We benefit greatly from an engaged, active community eager to offer insights, suggestions, and feedback that benefits our collective work. We count on the generous support from our members who serve on our advisory committees, participate in our research initiatives, and present at our symposium, workshops, and webinars. I would like to send a special thank you to our remarkable board of directors who give so much of their time to making the Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable a stronger advocate for graduate management education. If you would like to share your questions & comments or even learn about how you can engage with the Roundtable, please email info@gbcroundtable.org

1:00 p.m. EST/10:00 a.m. PAC
  

Join us to learn about the amazing innovations from our 2023 Innovator Award Finalists and Winners.  This webinar will feature the University of Iowa – Ready, Set, Lead, How the Iowa MBA prepares students to be Executive Ready.  

While preparing students to be the leaders of tomorrow is not unique for MBA programs, the Iowa MBA’s Executive Ready approach is. Here’s how:  The Iowa MBA now includes multiple robust capstone options that expand applied learning and communication skills are integrated throughout the capstones and poised to be added throughout the curriculum. Their capstone courses develop Executive Ready skills such as big picture thinking, strategy, decision making, thinking forward, negotiation, team management, change management, and communication regardless of which capstone option a student selects. The Executive Ready framework is two-fold: throughout the capstone courses, students are guided and supported to develop strategic recommendations that can be presented to an executive audience; the experience also arms students with skills needed to become the executives.
