Babson to Offer an MBA in Dubai

New Dubai-based program will launch in January, 2019

The Massachusetts-based Babson College has announced that it will offer an MBA program in Dubai, beginning in 2019.

The program will be offered in blended online and face-to-face formats. The in-person programs will be offered at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Other business schools, such as the UK's Cass Business School, also offer MBA programs in the same district.

The new MBA will be aimed at locally- and regionally-based professionals in a wide range of industries and company sizes. The core curriculum will focus on a number of topics, including Entrepreneurship and Opportunity and Global Connections Through Technology. Dubai-specific curriculum will address topics like Family Entrepreneurship and M&A for Entrepreneurs. Overall, the MBA will take 21 months to complete. 

Babson's new Dubai-base MBA will begin in January 2019. Applications for the program are now open.
