Last month, the NIU College of Business marked a significant milestone with the launch of its seventh Executive MBA cohort in Bogotá, Colombia. Joan Phillips-Hernandez, the dean of the college, alongside Bennett Piscopo, the director of operations for graduate programs and global initiatives, was on hand to inaugurate this exciting new chapter for the institution.
During the launch, the focus was on teaching marketing management, a critical area of study for the cohort. Currently, there are 25 students enrolled in this program, all eager to enhance their business acumen and leadership skills. This initiative not only strengthens NIU’s presence in Latin America but also reflects the institution's commitment to providing high-quality education to professionals seeking to advance their careers.
The Executive MBA program is designed to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals, ensuring that they can balance their education with their professional responsibilities. This cohort represents a diverse group of individuals, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives to the classroom, enriching the learning environment for all participants.
