IE Brown Executive MBA

Two global institutions. One joint degree focused on social entrepreneurship.

Brown University and IE Business School have forged a unique alliance to offer a globally-ranked and triple-certified Executive MBA. Together, we educate reflective leaders, change-makers and entrepreneurs who care about the human and societal implications of business. 

Where business meets social purpose. Our dynamic, 15-month curriculum integrates innovative management courses with a range of topics in the social sciences to teach different and complementary ways of critical-thinking. You’ll go beyond learning about a particular subject, to discovering its context, origin and influence.

Impact happens on a global scale. Designed for working executives, our format blends flexible online learning with immersive residential experiences across three continents: Madrid, Spain; Providence, RI USA; and Capetown, South Africa. Each location represents a distinct opportunity to explore business from an entirely new, global perspective. 

You're in good company. At the heart of your transformational journey is the people. At IE Brown, you’ll learn from internationally-renowned faculty and join a diverse community of peers whom you can lean on for support. Now and for life.

Immersion Experience

Each IE Brown cohort spends one week in South Africa as part of the course, Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Developing Regions. Working in teams, they are charged with ideating new potential business solutions for Cape Town townships.

Brown University, founded in 1764 and located in Providence, Rhode Island. Brown is a leading research university home to world-renowned faculty, and also an innovative educational institution where the curiosity, creativity and intellectual joy of students drives academic excellence. Brown graduates hold leadership positions across the globe in industry, politics and society.

IE Business School, located in Madrid, Spain, is consistently ranked as one of the best business schools in the world. Since its founding in 1973 as an independent, post-graduate institution, it has earned a reputation as an innovative, entrepreneurial school that has transformed management education with practice-oriented programs, the incorporation of the humanities into business training, and the use of learning methodologies combining online and face-to-face interactions.

Anchored in the values and strengths of both institutions, the IE Brown Executive MBA integrates innovative management skills with the human sciences and practical business studies. The 15-month curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded managers and entrepreneurs who do not shy away from difficult questions and can therefore be change agents in their organizations, industries and communities.

This programmatic integration develops key skill sets allowing participants to think beyond the need for an immediate solution and focus on strategic success. Graduates, as reflective leaders, will be able to draw on critical thinking skills, ethical business practices and apply an entrepreneurial mindset with the agility and versatility demanded by today’s business environment.
