Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable

Our Mission

The Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable is a global association of business schools whose mission is to advance graduate management education through curricular and co-curricular innovation. We create forums to challenge, debate, and shape the future of graduate management education (GME) curricular design, equip business school faculty and administrators with the knowledge and resources needed to advance GME curricular and programmatic innovation, and promote and recognize GME curricular achievement, change and innovation

Insights

“Curriculum based symposiums, academic research, timely webinars, and benchmarking surveys provide significant insights enabling our school leadership to make informed decisions regarding where and how to invest in order to improve the education of our graduate business students today and in the future.”
C. Michael Stepanek, Managing Director, MBA Programs, Executive Director, Academics and Operations, Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Inspiration

“No other organization comes close to providing thought leadership and data needed to build and support programming for MBA and other course-based graduate business curricula. Our membership has saved us hundreds of hours of having to collect the data needed for recent curriculum changes and new program introductions.” Michael Maier, Ph.D., CPA, ICD.D, Associate Dean, Master's Programs and Executive Education, University of Alberta

Interaction

“The Roundtable has been a great source of information and networking for us. We are excited to continue as a member school. “

Chairperson's Welcome

Welcome to the Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable!

We are a dynamic community of academic directors, faculty, and program leaders committed to shaping the future of graduate management education through curricular innovation. United by a shared belief in the transformative power of graduate management education, we empower leaders who drive change within their organizations—and in the world. We believe in the role of business as a force for good, creating economic and social impact that benefits communities globally.

For over 25 years, we have been at the forefront of curricular and co-curricular innovation, offering cutting-edge research, thought-provoking workshops, and interactive webinars. Our flagship event, the annual Curricular Innovation Symposium, brings together the brightest minds in graduate management education to share insights and explore new ideas. Beyond events, we actively develop and disseminate thought leadership that informs and strengthens the graduate management education community.

As the needs of MBA and Specialized Master’s students, faculty, alumni, and corporate partners continue to evolve, so does our mission. We provide our members with the resources, connections, and best practices needed to navigate an ever-changing landscape.

Our strength lies in the engagement of our members. Whether serving on advisory committees, contributing to research initiatives, or leading discussions at our events, our community plays a vital role in advancing graduate business education. A special thank you to our dedicated board of directors for their leadership and commitment.

We invite you to join us, connect with like-minded peers, and be part of this incredible network. Have questions or want to get involved? Reach out to us at info@gbcroundtable.org—we’d love to hear from you!
