New signs of economic recovery seen in recent enrollments from MBA 4 Sucess

University of Chicago Booth School of Business sees 28% increase in registrations this quarter and plans to expand offerings at London campus.

Due to the continued growth and success of the Executive MBA programme in Europe, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the first top American school to establish its own campus in Europe, is to expand its executive education programmes in London.  “Based on the success of our Executive MBA programme and positive experiences with some major European companies, the School has decided to make a major investment in ramping up our operations,” said Arnold Longboy, Managing Director of Executive Education at the London campus.

In 2009, as the economic downturn set in, the School launched its first major open enrolment programme in London, the 15-day Accelerated Development Programme (ADP), with nearly all participants entirely funded by their companies.  “It was probably the worse time to launch this open enrolment programme, but we’ve now had three successful runs and each offering has subsequently seen increases in enrolments,” Longboy said.

The increase in enrollment is an indicator that companies are now in a better position to invest more resources in executive education for their employees, a sure sign of economic growth.
