DISCOVER THE DRUCKER MBA
Our Beliefs About Management
The Drucker MBA brings together the complex realities of the world in which we live--our diverse, cultural, institutional, and intellectual backgrounds, and our ethical responsibilities. Combined with the hard sciences, accounting, finance, marketing and other building blocks of skills, the intuitive and scientific undertanding of these linkages is essential to anticipating and meeting the challenges of change and renewal, and for seeing things both as they are and as they can be.
We believe outstanding leadership is an endeavor requiring both character and competence--moral courage as well as analytical insight. Effective leaders make a difference in the lives and institutions they touch by infusing them with high values and bringing definition to common purpose, commitment to strategy, dignity to human interaction, and increased opportunity for creative self-expression.
The Drucker Difference
In a climate of ethical challenges and increased globalization, today's business and industry leaders are seeking out individuals who:
- are productive and purposeful
- achieve professional success and social impact
- understand the importance of strategic thinking and values-based management
Our program infuses Peter Drucker's management principles along with these important skills into every aspect of learning, resulting in graduates who are ethical and effective leaders in a variety of capacities and an array of fields. We give you all the important tools--finance, accounting, marketing--but mastering these basic skills alone will not make you a successful manager, effective leader, or innovative entrepreneur. Our MBA curriculum stretches beyond the basics, and challenges you to explore a unique approach to management as a human enterprise and a liberal art. During your first year at the Drucker School, you will have an opportunity to take the Drucker Difference course--a one-of-a-kind course, which focuses on values-driven, human-centered approach to management. The Drucker Faculty will share their research interests and apply it to Peter Drucker's teachings and philosophies.
Some schools expect you to conform to a cookie cutter MBA program. The Drucker School is different because it allows you to explore leadership from your own unique perspective--to bring views and challenges from your industry and customize your education to fit your goals. We value the importance of a GOOD FIT--a school that considers your needs and career aspirations. We provide a personalized and practical, yet reflective learning experience. We promote diversity, innovation, and individuality.

"Education will become the center of the knowledge society, and schooling its key institution."
-- Peter F. Drucker
"Drucker offers calming guidance and wisdom about how we can find our way and navigate to a better future. Here you will learn needed skills, as you would elsewhere. Here you will also gain insights about values, principles, ethics and purpose. At Drucker, these aren’t peripheral or add-ons; they are the heart and soul of who we are and what we do and what we call The Drucker Difference. For those looking for analysis, insight, perspective and an approach to management that puts a heavy emphasis on integrity, sustainability and significance, Drucker is the right place at the right time."
-- Dean Ira A. Jackson
"I was really drawn to the Drucker School's emphasis on ethical management and its philosophy that 'management is a human enterprise'. I think the Drucker School differentiates itself from other business schools because it places equal emphasis on soft skills and hard skills and through Drucker's teachings, it prepares students to lead organizations of knowledge workers."
-- Sylvia Kong
