Brown University Gets Into the MBA Game - Patrick Clark, Business Week

Brown University’s governing body voted Friday to begin issuing a master’s in business administration for the first time in its history, carving out a decisive, if small, claim to the business school landscape. Rather than build a business school from scratch, Brown has been introducing executive degree programs around its existing expertise, says Karen Sibley, dean of the School of Professional Studies at Brown. That includes a master’s degree for health-care executives and plans for an executive master’s for leaders in the fields of engineering and cybersecurity. Those programs are “a very sensible attempt to leverage the talents and capacities that we already have” she says. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-05-23/brown-university-gets-into-the-mba-game#r=rss
