FROM THE DEAN:

A VISION
OF EXCELLENCE
SDA Bocconi is the School of Management where impact is
more than a goal. It is our common language. It’s the engine
that powers every decision, every initiative, and every program
that we offer. But for us, impact goes beyond individual
transformation or the advancement of organizations.
Impact is positive change that respects and promotes core
values. Diversity is our rule, fueling innovation and learning
through varied experiences. Good governance is essential,
and we stand by its principles in both corporate and public
realms. We view the environment as a right, advocating for
sustainable leadership. Merit is our standard, and we champion
talent, offering avenues for growth. Research and science
are our bedrock, ensuring progress and social betterment.
We approach globalization as a unifying dialogue.
Across all organizational types, we stress holistic management
responsibility, guiding and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow
for lasting impact. This is our mission, our passion and our
responsibility. And it is in this spirit that we welcome you
to our School of Management.

STEFANO CASELLI
Dean SDA Bocconi School of Management

 OUR ASSOCIATE DEAN:

MAPPING THE
MASTER PROGRAMS

A master’s program demands commitment and dedication and cannot be undertaken without
strong professional and personal motivation. For those aspiring to industry-specific and disciplinary
specialization, our specialized master’s programs are the ideal formula. On the other hand, if you
have the attitude for integrating and orchestrating business decision-making processes, the
MBA programs are the most appropriate choice. The personal and professional transformation
brought about by a master’s program also requires a significant investment of time and energy.
The intensive and full-time format is suitable for those who feel the need to devote themselves
entirely and exclusively to this life project of theirs.
Conversely, the extensive and part-time format is designed for those who wish to embrace change
while preserving their professional activities and personal interests.
