on-campus courses and three international study-abroad
experiences in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
This is an innovative program in Colombia, and one of the best
programs of its kind in Latin America. It provides professionals
with an opportunity not only to earn both Icesi's and Tulane's
masters degrees, while they continue to perform their work
duties at their organizations, but also to acquire solid advanced
knowledge of current management practices.

Cost versus benefit, clearly your best choice for an MBA in Colombia!
The A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University was
established in 1914 in New Orleans. It is a founding member of AACSB,
the premier accrediting body for collegiate schools of business. Today,
Freeman is a leading, internationally recognized business school with
more than 2,000 students in programs spanning three continents. The
Freeman School is consistently listed among the nation's best business
schools by publications including U.S. News & World Report,
BusinessWeek, Forbes, Financial Times and America Economia. In its
Essential Science Indicators index, Thomson Scientific ranks the Freeman
School in the top 1 percent of institutions based on citations in business
and economics between January 2000 and April 2010.
Through innovative offerings such as the nationally acclaimed
Burkenroad Reports equities research program, the Darwin Fenner
student-managed fund, the Tulane Business Plan Competition, the
Tulane Energy Trading Competition, and the Global MBA program,
Freeman combines a rigorous academic grounding with practical
real-world experience.
Universidad Icesi is a private university founded in 1979 by local
business leaders who are still today supporting the university in
multiple ways. Prestigious leaders from the region are members of
the Board of Trustees and Board of Directors at the University.
The business school has established an extensive network of contacts
with other prestigious institutions and universities from around the
globe. The University is, for example, a member of the Business
Association for Latin American Studies (BALAS), the International
Association of Universities (NAFSA), the Latin American Council of
Administration Schools (CLADEA). In addition to the above, the
School is now in the process of securing the international
accreditation status with the AACSB (Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business), an organization that accredits the
best business schools in the world.
We redesigned
our MBA program
In order to maintain our leading position in Colombia, and continue offering a world-class
program that can be projected into the future, we redesigned our MBA. To this end, we visited
the business schools at the universities of Yale, Stanford and Harvard, among others, and
attended several international events. Through these activities, we gained first-hand insights
into the most important innovations that are taking place amongst world-class business
schools. Thus, in redesigning the MBA, we adapted current best practices from around the
world to our local environment and built a uniquely innovative program for Colombian business
leaders.
The redesigned MBA focuses on four components: Manager, Global Environment, Organisation,
and Business. The MBA main objective is to educate Managers recognized by society for being:
leaders, who effectively lead and work with others in teams; ethical, who weigh ethical issues
when making decisions and recognize the impact of their actions on society; strategists, who
propose integral solutions to organizational problems; good communicators, who communicate
effectively relevant information for making business decisions; and innovators, who develop new
processes, structures and products that create value for their organisations. Such a manager
should know and use the analytical tools required to run an Organisation (statistics, accounting,
economics), develop the skills related to the functional areas of Business (finance, marketing,
operations and human resources), and acquire a thorough understanding of the Global Environment
(economic and political environment, legal and social responsibility, international experience)
where they perform.

Why should you pursue
an MBA
Undertaking an MBA is important because professionals need to be prepared to face the challenges of
the surrounding environment. Today the world moves faster and has fewer barriers than ever before.
There are a large number of opportunities for organizations to sell their products and services in other
markets, find different supply sources, and have access to a wide range of options to establish alliances.
An increasingly larger number of organizations are looking for qualified managers with an MBA degree.
There are more and more professionals with a great potential for executive development who are
interested in complementing their undergraduate education with a top-notch Master in Business
Administration program such as the one being offered by Icesi University.
Rigorous selection of colleagues
Our rigorous admission process makes it possible for students to be in a class with peers of a suitable
profile and level to ensure the success of a top quality program. Thanks to a careful selection process,
the participants in the MBA dual-degree program are individuals of a great potential, serving at
management positions at regional or multinational companies.
Given the characteristics of this program offered by Icesi and Tulane universities, students must be
proficient in English and have the necessary financial resources to travel to the United States (New
Orleans), Europe (France), and Asia (China) where part of the program is carried out.
A Master in Business Administration, usually known as an MBA, is a
program that trains professionals to take on positions of managerial
responsibility. An MBA offers students general knowledge of the
different areas of an organization and a global strategic vision.
State-of -the-art facilities
The classroom for the MBA program is designed to guarantee effective learning. It is
equipped with modern audiovisual aids and Internet connections that provide broad-band
access and facilitate networking. The technical support staff at our University sets up our
students' lab top computers with the necessary software programs for various applications.
Our students have remote access to multiple databases that provide them with access to
the best scientific publications and journals worldwide. They can also access the physical
resources available at our recently renewed library.
The courses in the MBA curriculum are aimed at providing a
balance between knowing (theories and facts), doing (skills and
competencies), and being (values and attitudes).
AMBA accreditation:
global standard of
high quality
The MBA at Icesi University was accredited by AMBA
(Association of MBAs) in February 2010. This means that
our graduate program meets global standards of high
quality.
In a saturated market offering a plethora of graduate
programs, being accredited by the AMBA is a guarantee
not only of quality, but also of the return on investment
for students who will see a better compensation for their
skills in the labor market.
For our graduates this accreditation represents the
possibility of being a part of the largest global network of
MBA professionals from top-tier universities from around
the world. The website of the AMBA (www.mbaworld.com)
provides outstanding opportunities for networking, seeking
employment at job banks, and finding opportunities for
continuous education.
Employers who are looking for the best managers and
directors for their companies are aware that graduates from
AMBA-accredited programs have received education of the
highest quality.
Applied Graduation Project
Students have the choice to conduct an applied research study aiming
at resolving an organizational problem, building a case study, or
developing a business plan. At the beginning of the third semester,
students are assigned a professor who will guide them through their
research.
The business plan is prepared with the guidance of the CDEE (Center
for the Development of Entrepreneurial Spirit), which is internationally
well-known for providing top-quality coaching to new entrepreneurs.
This Center has received numerous distinguished awards and
recognitions such as the The Best Educational Program in
Entrepreneurship Outside of United States awarded by The Association
for Small Business and Entrepreneurship in the USA.
Through case studies,
simulations, and class
preparation, students are
constantly encouraged to
play an active role in their
learning process.
Courses in
Cali and Bogota
Students who live in Bogota will take classes
with local professors in this city. For classes
given in Colombia by professors from Tulane
University and other foreign universities, they
will have to travel to the campus of Icesi
University in Cali. The cost of the airfare
for traveling from Bogota to Cali on
approximately three weekends per semester
is included in the tuition fee. Students must
bear their own boarding, lodging, and local
transportation expenses in Cali.
Classes in Cali:
Meet every 15 days, on Fridays
from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm and
Saturdays from 9:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Classes in Bogota:
Meet every 15 days, on Fridays
from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm and
Saturdays from 8:00 to 3:00 pm.
Faculty
In redesigning our MBA program, we
made a major effort to assemble an
excellent team of locally and
internationally reputed professors with
a high level of academic education
and business experience. The MBA
program relies on a team of
Colombian and foreign professors who
possess a sterling academic
background and vast experience as
business consultants and managers.
