State Faculty of Economics Dean Vasili Kolesov.Russia’s first executive MBA (EMBA) will be part of a joint program involving Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Robinson College of Business in Atlanta. The program, to be known as Executive Leaders, will also provide students the opportunity to earn a master’s of science in management. The EMBA will be conferred by the Robinson College while the MS will be conferred by Lomonosov Moscow State.

The unique program will also be accompanied by various other initiatives for executives and the Russian business community, including a Moscow Executive Leaders forum, featuring high-profile business and government speakers from around the world, and Roundtable Working Groups of business leaders to discuss timely topics and share information. Executives in the program will also benefit from executive-level company visits and international residencies.

The degree portion of the Executive Leaders program will feature three days of classes each month to be taught in English by faculty of both Robinson and Moscow State. The classes will be held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Most Comprehensive Approach

Robinson Dean Fenwick Huss called the program “the most comprehensive approach to executive leadership available anywhere in the world. It is more than a one-time event. Executive Leaders is a program Moscow business leaders can draw from throughout their careers.” Added Huss, “Robinson is proud to work with Lomonosov Moscow State and be a trailblazer in providing a multifaceted approach to executive leadership development.”

According to Vice Dean and Moscow State Program Director Vladmir Echenique, “Moscow State University has long been the premier institution of higher education in Russia. The announcement of this new agreement with Georgia State extends the legacy of the university by adding a totally new dimension to our offerings.”
