Overview

A key advantage to attending MSU and the Broad (rhymes with road) Full-Time MBA degree program is our focus on converting learning to real-world experience, even before you leave campus. We shape you for top job performance to maximize return on yourself through:

Direct access to our credentialed faculty
Team-centric academic rigor
Hands-on learning labs that challenge you to solve global business dilemmas

Preparing students for success

Our approach for preparing students for success in post-MBA jobs and for rewarding long-range careers is affirmed year after year when our Full-Time MBAs are recruited by the most desirable companies.

We are proud of an employment rate above 90 percent.

While BusinessWeek recently announced that the Broad MBA degree program is top in the U.S. in return on investment, with just 3.27 years to payback, our stature and ROI mean much more to our MBA students than monetary value.

Our Full-Time MBAs see their entire Broad experience as the best overall return they could get on their MBA investment, in terms of:

Seeing results sooner
Being ready to make good business decisions right away
Advancing in their careers more quickly
Earning more

That can be attributed to Broad's unique structure, size, and approach.

“One of the things that popped out for me was the return on investment. I'm a finance geek, so if I was going to invest two years of my money, life, and efforts, I needed to get a good return on it.”
