In an era of unprecedented, ever-accelerating global change, business leaders need to look beyond the core competencies and the fundamental skills of a traditional MBA. In order to drive change, they need the in-depth knowledge, resources, and network to drive global economics, innovation and policy.
Our specialized World Executive MBA with Cybersecurity (WEMBA) is the direct result of a partnership between GWSB and GW’s Center for Cyber and Homeland Security. The program builds leaders ready to meet the challenges of this new frontier, preparing them to work across industries, sectors and borders.
The program is a 16-Month all-inclusive accelerated program that is set up as an international cohort, which attracts executives from across industries. The cutting-edge curriculum devised by renowned national security, military, corporate and global financial experts gives students direct access to the inner workings and leaders of institutions shaping global business, government and cyber policy within the Nation’s Capital and beyond.
GWSB’s specialized WEMBA with Cybersecurity specifically prepares business leaders to work across industries, sectors and borders to detect, confront and solve contemporary tech and web security issues. Professionals enrolled in the program learn from top cybersecurity and cyber-policy experts, and the program’s international residencies assign candidates to work on actual cybersecurity projects with organizations such as NATO in Brussels or the European Cybercrime Centre at the Hague.
Students will also complete projects based on solving real business issues that exist within your current organization. A personal Leadership Coach will also help you focus on your goals and develop a 5-year strategic plan.
According to George Washington’s World Executive MBA webpage, those pursuing the degree should expect “a comprehensive program that prepares working professionals to build and lead successful teams, manage effectively on a global landscape, deliver exemplary results, leverage the power of partnership and use communication, critical thinking and problem solving with new mastery.”
