The Online MBA program at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business is a new program (launched in the fall semester 2020) to bring an integrated graduate business curriculum to a global learning community at scale.

The Questrom Online MBA (OMBA) Program is delivered in six modules (“MODs”), comprising content from two or more business functions and delivered by multiple faculty.

• Mod 1: Creating Value for Business and Society
• Mod 2: Managing Performance with Data
• Mod 3: Leading with Integrity
• Mod 4: Managing Risk
• Mod 5: Leveraging Global Opportunities
• Mod 6: Fostering an Innovative Mindset

Each module also includes an integrating learning experience designed to instill an appreciation of business as a holistic endeavor rather than a collection of functional silos. These integrating experiences and the holistic design of the OMBA Program require coordination among the faculty teaching in each MOD. The experience also requires the coordination and collaboration of many teams: faculty, learning facilitators, learning designers, student success specialists, and so on.
