Why IPADE?
The Full-time MBA Program is designed to develop the skills necessary to face Top Management responsibilities. Participants will undergo a profound transformation, and this training requires a two-year commitment to professional and personal growth.
Program participants get a professional boost that translates into greater performance and increased leadership skills. IPADE graduates stand out among their peers due to their highly developed global business vision and their deep sense of social purpose that must always accompany managing a business.
IPADE’s MEDE Program uses the Case Method and additional teaching tools to provide an intense formative experience focused on building skills and transforming leaders.
Methodology
Using the Case Method, participants perfect their managerial skills by exercising the detection, analysis, and diagnosis of real business problems.
The Full-Time MBA Program helps the participants to develop their abilities to make accurate decisions, exercise flexibility and open-mindedness, and build the strength of character required for every managerial action.
The Case Method uses academic materials (business cases) based on real organizational challenges that are analyzed from different perspectives. This process is divided into three stages: personal study, teamwork, and a plenary session led by an expert professor.
Drawing on the cases and accompanying technical notes, participants acquire the necessary knowledge about the fundamentals of business management. Guest speakers and visiting professors provide additional hands-on inputs, expertise, and life experience.
1. Personal Study
Participants use their personal experience with the situation outlined to assess the issues and make an action plan.
2. Teamwork
The team of participants combines their personal and plenary analysis to make decisions as though they were the company’s board of directors.
3. Plenary Session
The case is analyzed using input from the whole class under the guidance of an expert professor.

Curriculum
Academic structure
First Year
The Program’s first year is primarily oriented toward an in-depth study of different areas of management. During this period, participants acquire the technical tools necessary for excellent management. Along with these hard skills, participants will learn about leadership and teamwork.
Summer Internship
Between their first and second year, Full-Time MBA participants must carry out a summer internship project with a company. The Project is conceived as a practical learning process in which the students have the opportunity to apply much of what they have been learned during the first year of the program in real business situations.
Second Year
The second-year emphasizes the development of a global vision, strategic decision-making processes, and other so-called soft skills. During the fourth trimester, students choose from among 40 international business schools for their international exchange experience. During the sixth trimester, students can choose four elective courses focused on the latest global business trends.
