GSBA melts academic traditions of MSU with innovative techniques of teaching business and management.
Having strong connections with Russian business world, GSBA also offers tailor-made corporate programmes. The ambition to be the best is rewarded by our graduates’ recognition – GSBA is ranked #1 in Russia according to the 2007 and 2008 year surveys held by the leading business magazine "Secret Firmy" (¹37 (269), 2008; ¹36(219),2007).
GSBA is a leader in Russian management education, proud to be recognized by business and academic communities for:
• action-oriented graduates who embrace an enterprise perspective and lead with integrity, vision, judgment, ethical commitment and social responsibility;
• outstanding student-centered teaching provided by dedicated full-time, associate and visiting international faculty using a variety of management education technologies, such as, case method, teamwork projects, state of the art business simulations and hands-on experience;
• integrated and innovative curriculum and course materials attuned to the lifelong learning needs of current and future business leaders;
• mutually strengthening partnerships with Russian and international business organizations, government and civil society leaders that introduce GSBA students to the real world of business.
 The mission of the Graduate School of Business Administration (GSBA) is to train competitive ethical business leaders providing them with knowledge and skills to achieve success in the rapidly changing business world. GSBA’s curriculum and supportive environment fuse the art, science and technology of business.
GSBA is an agent of change. It prepares future managers to think strategically, provides them the necessary skills and nourishes an ethical appreciation to contribute to the development of a civilized, competitive business in Russia.
Traditionally, business education in Russia focused on “scientific management” only. While maintaining the highest standards in these traditional disciplines, GSBA from its beginning has introduced and achieved the highest international standards in its curricula and teaching technologies. What makes GSBA a stand-out among Russian and, indeed, business schools globally, is its fusion of new management approaches with the “art” of business in a business environment of dynamic transformation.
