Executive MBA

Brown University and IE Business School develops leaders who bring clarity and foresight into a complex world.

Business is being rewritten in real time. Artificial intelligence transforms industries, markets shift overnight and global, social and environmental forces now shape every decision.

In this environment, traditional leadership models fall short. To lead effectively, you need more than functional excellence — you need the ability to interpret disruption, anticipate what’s next and bring clarity to complexity.

Turn Complexity into a Competitive Advantage

The IE Brown Executive MBA is a 15-month joint degree that combines the innovation-driven business acumen of IE Business School with the interdisciplinary perspectives of Brown University.

Designed for experienced professionals, the program strengthens your core business foundation while expanding your ability to analyze disruption, anticipate change and make bold, strategic decisions in dynamic environments.
