WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE (March 6, 2023)— StraighterLine, creator of affordable, flexible and career-aligned postsecondary courses, has partnered with Ducere Global Business School to provide a pathway for students to lower the cost of earning their MBA degree and shorten their study time through online courses. The Global MBA program with Rome Business School – Delivered by Ducere Global Business School will now accept credits earned from four StraighterLine online courses including Organizational Behavior, Business Ethics, Accounting I, and Principles of Management. Entry into the 12-month Global MBA program requires either three years of management level work experience or a Bachelor's degree. “We are excited to partner with Ducere Global Business School to provide students in the United States and around the world an opportunity to earn their MBA in a high quality, flexible and affordable way,” said Dr. Amy Smith, Chief Learning Officer for StraighterLine. “There are many adult learners who have a wealth of business experience but have stopped out of college before completing their degree. Our partnership empowers learners to help them reach both their college and career goals.” The Global MBA provides students with a global and diverse orientation to an applied business education emphasizing ethical decision making, diversity and inclusivity, business strategy, global marketplaces and audiences, transformational change, and business leadership. Throughout the course, students are given opportunities to explore the global issues and forces driving transformational change and develop innovative strategies and practices for modern organizations. Students will develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills to manage and lead an inclusive, human-centered global workplace. Students will engage with leading faculty and global leaders with international expertise and backgrounds whilst benefiting from the flexibility of online delivery. Students undertaking courses with Ducere Global Business School will have access to insights from over 250 global leaders and business innovators as part of the business curriculum.
