Enrollment now open for MBA in Luxury Brand Management at Seminole State

Registration is now open for an internationally recognized MBA program available at Seminole State. Through the College’s partnership with IPAG Business School in France, students can earn an MBA in Luxury Brand Management from one of the world’s leading business schools specializing in the luxury industry. With campuses in Paris and Nice, IPAG has developed a reputation for producing graduates who go on to work at companies such as LVMH and Yves Saint Laurent.

This 10-month program consists of one semester of coursework taught by IPAG faculty (and completed at Seminole State’s Heathrow Campus), a dissertation, and a 16-week internship, which can be completed in France, Monaco or Orlando. The curriculum includes courses in revenue management, financial analysis, human resource management, marketing and CRM, brand and reputation management, operations management, and research methods, among others.

MBA program graduates are in high demand by luxury brand employers: 99 percent find a job in less than six months; 54 percent start their professional careers in internationally renowned companies like Rolex; their average starting gross wages are $96,000; and their gross wages increase by an average of 40 percent over their first four years of employment.

In addition to the partnership with IPAG, Seminole State’s MBA in Luxury Brand Management program offers distinct advantages: at $14,950, the cost of the program is less than half of the cost of other comparable MBA programs; and both online and on-campus courses enable students to complete a master’s degree in less than a year while working.

Seminole State also offers options to help students pay for graduate programs, including access to the Sallie Mae Smart Option® Student Loan. Students can get up to 100 percent of the Seminole State-certified cost of attendance and the flexibility to choose between three different repayment options. Graduates of Seminole State are also eligible to apply for the one full-ride scholarship granted each program calendar year.

“There is still time to register for this popular program, but interested students should register now to secure their seats,” according to AnneLiese Busch, director of Seminole State’s Center for Global Engagement. “Graduates of our program are in high demand by luxury brand employers, so classes tend to fill up rather quickly.”
