The 48-credit program will include advanced elective courses in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Global Aspects of Finance, and Globalization and Management. Students will have the opportunity to take courses on Israeli society and culture. A rich extracurricular program will include tours, cultural and social events and more.
Prof. Yishay Yafeh, Dean of the Jerusalem School of Business Administration, said: “This program will train a select group of students with the knowledge, analytical tools and business skills to successfully adapt to emerging trends in today’s global markets. Students will gain value beyond the classroom through access to the Israeli business hub of innovation, hi-tech firms and start-ups, and networking with faculty and local students.”
Prof. Mimi Ajzenstadt, Provost of the Rothberg International School, said: “We created this program in response to demand from students around the world for an English-language Hebrew University MBA. This program answers that need with instruction from Hebrew University’s outstanding faculty and training from people in the business world, combined with practical work experience.”
The application period is from January 1 – March 15, 2014. Students interested in joining the inaugural class can learn more at http://overseas.huji.ac.il/mba. Scholarships based on demonstrated need or merit may be available.
