The Entrepreneur's MBA
Education FOR entrepreneurs BY entrepreneurs.
GSE is a new way to an MBA.
GSE takes into account the needs of the entrepreneur and builds programs to enhance the entrepreneurial experience, not interrupt it.
Our signature programs are built to let entrepreneurs apply their real world experience to the traditional MBA subject matter so what you learn can have an immediate impact on what matters most to you and your business.
GSE Programs

MASTERMIND TO MBA™
Our Mastermind to MBA™ program brings the best of a forum-like experience together with a highly applicable academic program.
A cohort of 8-10 entrepreneurs meet every other week for a year to discuss their academic assignments as they apply to their real world.
Students learn from each other as well as from the academic assignments, the guidance of the professor and distinguished subject matter lecturers.

MBA MY WAY™
We created the MBA My Way™ program to address the needs of those who require even more control over their learning schedule.
Up to three students can apply together
to form a custom cohort with a designated professor who guides the mini cohort through an even more personalized program.
It's the same accredited academic rigor and programming but with more ability to set the perfect pace.
Why we were created

Most MBA programs are built around the needs of the institution instead of the needs of the student. At GSE, we create programs that enhance the entrepreneurial journey rather than disrupt it.
Most practicing entrepreneurs cannot take two years away from their growing business to attend a full-time, campus-based program or spend every weekend away from family and business for a couple of years.
Uniquely, the GSE MBA offering provides students with a comprehensive, accredited curriculum in the required foundational subjects with a specialized focus in business administration from an entrepreneurial perspective.
The cohort model of GSE is a very deliberate choice. This small group of students paired together with a dedicated professor and plentiful subject matter experts make up A New Way to MBA™.
The GSE MBA helps students develop skills in critical thinking and strategic planning for changing and fast-paced environments, including financial and operational analysis; and it teaches students to develop competencies in leadership, including autonomous decision-making, communication with employees, and the other important stakeholders in your business.
The degree culminates in a capstone project. Over the course of the capstone, students use multidisciplinary approaches to perform critical analyses of real business issues in situations of uncertainty and incomplete information and develop an actionable solution which is presented and assessed at the end of the capstone.
The capstone project is an opportunity for students to develop a focused and in depth project incorporating academic concepts and applying them to relevant business objectives for the student.

What our learners say
"GSE met my needs. I wanted to continue to run my business while earning an MBA, an academic credential I noticed many of my peers had. As one of the first GSE MBA graduates, I cannot recommend it more highly. I now have the business knowledge and credentials valued in many corners of the world."
