Recognizing the need for leaders who understand and embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, Cambridge College created the nation’s first MBA program with a concentration in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, focused principally on preparing vanguard leaders who are empowered with the responsibility of infusing DEIB in their corporate DNA.

The MBA courses and curriculum were designed with nationally renowned DEIB practitioners, experts, and authors. The results: a multi-layered approach to training and engaging the entire corporation, including the board of directors, C-suite, and department heads...in essence, every facet of the organization.
