MBA Program
The MBA program is a 15 month, full-time program, starting in March and ending in May of the following year. The program is composed of a “classroom chapter” (one year) by the MIP structure and a full-time working project (three months) inside corporations or consulting firms. During this last period each student will join a work group that will apply major managerial and organizational changes on a given project. The program is divided into two classes, one in Italian and the other in English. The class-size is small (50 students maximum) and it provides an optimal faculty/students ratio.
