Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, will accept graduate students into the program this fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to partner with a business program with similar interests and motivations, especially sharing a unique perspective on how business can be successfully carried out with a value-based sensitivity and outlook that considers more than just dollars and cents,\u201d says Gordon Zerbe, CMU academic vice president. \u201cFuture leaders, more than ever, will be expected to direct entrepreneurial spirit, but also with a heightened appreciation for social responsibility, sustainability, and stewardship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Collaborative MBA is an accredited online program based on the concept of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/collaborativemba.org\/about\/leadership-for-the-common-good\/\">leadership for the common good<\/a>,\u201d emphasizing six values \u2013 spiritual growth, honoring community, leading as service, upholding justice, planning for sustainability and global citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeadership for the common good is a concept that pays attention to the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profits,\u201d said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/jes385\">Jim Smucker<\/a>, program director and dean of graduate and professional studies at EMU. \u201cThe common good is established each time a person, organization or community reaches beyond individual self-interest for the sake of the greater whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The addition of CMU\u2019s faculty of business experts expands both the vision and resources of the program, Smucker added.<\/p>\n<p>Students are organized in cohorts \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2014\/09\/collaborative-mba-students-bond-at-bluffton\/\">the first cohort started in summer 2014<\/a> \u2013 and move together through 12 courses that are typically completed in 22-24 months. Nine core courses are augmented by three courses directly related to one of the eight concentration areas: health care management, leadership, accounting and financial management, leading non-profits, conflict transformation, sustainable organizations and intercultural leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Most courses are offered through interactive video conferencing and practical projects. Synchronous interactions delivered through video are complemented by asynchronous learning, in which students contribute and interact on their own time. A one-week international residency provides students with a global perspective and emphasizes interdependency and mutual accountability, values at the heart of today\u2019s global economy. This approach accommodates different styles of learning, as well as demands of employment and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strengthening a curricular emphasis on global and intercultural connectivity, a fourth partner from Canada has joined Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), Bluffton University and Goshen College in the Collaborative Masters of <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2015\/canadian-mennonite-university-joins-as-the-fourth-partner-in-the-collaborative-mba-program\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Canadian Mennonite University joins as the fourth partner in the Collaborative MBA program<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4515,264,5610],"tags":[7968,17247,6937,14791,17361],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-24316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-graduate-programs","category-mba","tag-bluffton","tag-collaborative-mba","tag-goshen-college","tag-jim-smucker","tag-mennonite-churches-and-schools"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
