The pace-setting executive program

- We are a university, a public educational and research institution whose President is a professor elected by the university councils. - As a university whose vocation is education and research, we belong to the academic tradition of the great universities which, a century ago, created the MBA. - The teaching for the Dauphine Executive MBA is tied in with Paris Dauphine University's research centres. - We do not consider the MBA to be a commodity, or education a market in the commercial sense of the term. We believe that an MBA should not be sold like some consumer product and that it is for you to choose an MBA that corresponds to your values. - We refuse all commercial practices contrary to our academic values. - The Dauphine Executive MBA cannot be bought. If you are chosen for the program, you will have to work very hard indeed for your diploma. You will be a student, not a customer.

Jean-François Chanlat Director of the Dauphine EXECUTIVE MBA

- We believe that the true value of an MBA lies in the capacity of its holders to think clearly and take the right decisions. Our aim is to encourage the development of your capacities for thought and analysis, not to push managerial fads and fashions.

- The Dauphine Executive MBA is a true Executive MBA. It is intended solely for working managers (the average age of our MBA students is 36). It draws extensively on participants' professional experience. It is a part-time course, taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, once a month for 22 months.

- The Dauphine Executive MBA considers that business management is rich in its diversity, is not founded on a single model and is meaningful only if it respects fundamental human values. Without ethics and respect for those values, management is not sustainable.

- We believe that the human dimension is important, expressed through work in small groups, mutual assistance, support from previous intakes and networking. Our concept of management means that we prefer group achievement to individual success.

- "The excellence of an MBA is in the quality of its Faculty." The Faculty of the Dauphine Executive MBA is made up entirely of professors from Paris-Dauphine University and UQAM, the University of Quebec at Montreal. This is a fundamental choice which reflects our educational objectives.

- Our approach to teaching is based on small groups (24 learners per group maximum) so as to foster creative, high-level exchanges both within the group and with the faculty. Our courses are not given in crowded lecture theatres.

- We make extensive use of information and communication technologies (ICT) so as to encourage distance group working, supported by a powerful intranet. But for the Dauphine Executive MBA, ICT does not mean e-learning! - The Dauphine Executive MBA is organized in partnership with UQAM, the University of Quebec at Montreal. The Dauphine Executive MBA corresponds to a double diploma: the Executive MBA diploma awarded by Paris Dauphine University and the EQUIS-accredited UQAM MBA. You will not choose the Dauphine Executive MBA by chance. You will choose it for the values it conveys, for the fundamental choices it represents, for the strength of our commitments.
