Poznań-Atlanta Program Robinson's First
While Robinson continues to
expand its global programming
(see Moscow article), one
of its most enduring international
partnerships continues to thrive.
Introduced in 1995 under the
leadership of former Robinson Dean
John Hogan, and with the seed
financing from a grant provided by
the Andrew Mellon Foundation,
the Poznań-Atlanta program
utilizes Robinson faculty to bolster
Polish graduates’ career prospects.
Although classes are conducted in
both Polish and English, prospective
students are required to be able
to speak fluent English as well
as possess at least three years
of business experience. Upon
completion of the degree, graduates
(typically 40–50 per year) build a
more solid network of contacts
than their Polish MBA counterparts
and earn up to 3.5 times more
than professionals with some
other type of Polish master’s
degree. Plus, graduates of the 2-year
program earn a certificate
issued jointly by both partner
institutions in addition to a
postgraduate diploma from the
Poznań University of Economics.
Robinson Launches First Doctorate Program for Senior
Business Executives in Georgia
The Robinson College will offer Georgia’s first executive doctorate program for senior
business executives. The rigorous, three-year program is designed for business leaders
who seek to gain a broader understanding of global management while having the
opportunity to shape the study and practice of business leadership.
According to Dean Fenwick Huss, despite the demand from companies and business
executives, few schools offer this type of program. “Our program is designed for busy
executives who have already earned an advanced degree, hold full-time jobs, and
seek to enhance their effectiveness and careers in senior leadership positions,” said
Huss. “Additionally, this program can be used by companies as a tool to retain valued
top executives.”
The three-year program will be an executive format with six two-day residencies
(Friday and Saturday) per semester. The program is scheduled to launch in 2009.
