These areas are recognized as critical to global business but are often neglected in "traditional" MBA programs. NYU Stern's strength in finance and accounting, HEC Paris' leadership in marketing and management, coupled with top-ranked faculty who teach in every learning location ensures academic rigor and excellence throughout the program.back to top

How much individual vs. group-work is involved?

Generally, deliverables are approximately 50% individual-based and 50% group-based. When group work is submitted, everyone in a team receives the same grade.back to top

How are work groups created?

The TRIUM Program carefully forms work groups paying special attention to provide each team with a balanced combination of functional, geographical, cultural, and experiential diversity. There are three types of work groups in TRIUM: 1) TRIUM-formed groups of 5-6 people, which are changed at the half-way point in the program in order to maximize the depth and breadth of exposure and learning gained from other classmates; 2) Short-term groups of varying numbers, as professors may, at times, request that different groupings of participants work together on in-class assignments; 3) Final strategic project groups of 4-6 members. The final strategic project groups are self-formed: you choose your teammates and project focus. back to top

What is the final strategic project?

The final strategic project is the culminating feature of the TRIUM Global EMBA program. It is an integrative exercise, which gives participants the opportunity to apply the concepts and techniques learned throughout the program to the analysis of a concrete project. The project is carried out by self-formed groups and the deliverable is a thoroughly developed proposal on a strategic corporate initiative. The final report will be presented to a 'board of directors' during the final module. The analysis underlying the proposal must reflect the same rigorous academic standards that prevail throughout the TRIUM program.back to top
