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

“The Roundtable is the go-to organization for those that provide strategic direction for their MBA program. The MBA Roundtable provides leadership, tools and programming to help programs navigate the complexities of MBA curriculum revision. Without the MBA Roundtable network, MBA leaders would struggle to stay ahead of what the MBA market requires and expects.”
Monica S. Powell, PhD, Senior Associate Dean & Graduate Dean, University of Texas at Dallas, Naveen Jindal School of Management

Interaction

“The Roundtable has been a great source of information and networking for us. We are excited to continue as a member school. “
Lenay Johnson, Director, Admissions and Recruitment, Graduate and Professional Programs, C.T. Bauer College of Business, University of Houston

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!
