    IMBA (The MBA for Entrepreneurial Thinking) classes present materials using a variety of innovative approaches including cross-disciplinary modules taught by two or more faculty members. The two-year, lock-step program promotes life-long learning and is designed for individuals with diverse backgrounds. Students complete the program as a cohort and participate extensively in teams in the analysis and execution of projects. The cohort and cross-disciplinary nature of the students, faculty, and curriculum provides a unique opportunity for learning in a synergetic environment. This integrated approach is highly conducive to learning and requires the same traits necessary for success in any organization or business venture: individual accountability and responsibility.
