Business Because highlights five things that make a top-ranked MBA program:
1. Great career outcomes
Great career outcomes means top jobs and high graduate salaries.
2. Global reach
To work in almost any company today, employees need to know how to work internationally; to deal with different cultures and ways of working. International experience is also credited in MBA rankings.
3. Real-life learning experiences
Learning today is not just about lectures in a classroom. Students and employers want to see experiential learning experiences, where theory can be put into practice.
4. Focus on innovation
Even if MBA graduates are not starting their own business, most employers today value candidates with an entrepreneurial mindset. All top-ranked MBA programs will therefore focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.
5. Evolving curriculum
As technology disrupts industries and jobs change, so too must graduate management education. To stay relevant, and stay successful in MBA ranking tables, business schools must constantly update their curricula.
That means adding new topics and new ways of learning.
When it comes to preparing students for senior leadership roles, FUNIC's MBA/EMBA program stands out as one of the best options in Cameroon.
The MBA/EMBA program at FUNIC goes beyond traditional classroom learning. It incorporates practical case studies, real-world projects, and interactive discussions to provide students with a holistic understanding of business management. Through a combination of theoretical concepts and hands-on experiences, students develop critical thinking abilities, strategic decision-making skills, and effective leadership qualities.
Our graduates are employed as senior managers in the largest companies across all sectors of the economy, usually within twelve months of graduating.

You will find our graduates as senior Managers working with Dangote, CIMENCAM, NFC Bank, Ecobank, UBC Bank, in State and Private Universities, in Transport and Logistics Companies, Oil and Gas, Airlines, Food and Beverage, and many other companies/sectors.
These remarkable results stem firstly from our reach curriculum and faculty, but most importantly from our unique learning models and our constantly-evolving curriculum, which focuses on INNOVATION, HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE, and ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

Since the inception of our MBA program, the case study method has been giving students the rare opportunity to serve as senior management consultants through in-depth analysis of real senior management issues in companies.
2. Our Entrepreneurship Laboratory (E-Lab) provides students the unique opportunity of creating and providing strategic leadership to a startup, thus preparing them for the realities of strategic business leadership. Students sharpen their strategic thinking, negotiation, strategic planning, and conflict managent skills.
After learning concepts in the lecture rooms, students, in their cohorts create innovative solutions to solve the challenges their startups have to meet.
These challenges usually revolve around making the startup product/service sellable, raising startup capital, positioning, building robust internal structures, and attracting investors, among other challenges. These are the challenges that startup chief executives usually have to deal with. Thus, putting students at the centre of these challenges imbibes in them the Entrepreneurial Mindset so cherished by employers globally, and highly needed if they aspire to venture into Entrepreneurship.
