What University of Miami Herbert Business School does

Miami Herbert Business School is the constituent business school of the University of Miami, a private nonprofit research university located in Coral Gables, Florida. The school offers a comprehensive portfolio spanning undergraduate BBA degrees, five MBA formats (Full-Time STEM-designated, Professional part-time, Online, Global Executive, and Health Executive), specialized master's degrees in areas such as Health Administration and International Business, doctoral programs, and custom executive education. It serves working professionals, career-changers, healthcare leaders, military-affiliated students (24% of the business school student body), and international students drawn from 110+ countries, with tuition ranging from approximately $96,000 for the MHA to $164,000 for the Global Executive MBA.

The school's core differentiators are its triple crown accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS), placing it among the top 1% of business schools globally, and its signature "Miami Method" framework that combines data insights, AI tools, and human judgment for leadership decision-making. Curriculum is supported by AI fluency initiatives, AI/FinTech concentrations, and a Business Technology department ranked #1 nationally for IS research productivity. The Miami location provides structural advantages as a gateway to Latin America, where 1,400+ multinational corporations maintain regional headquarters, and supports a global alumni network of 45,000+ business leaders across 130 countries.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition across degree and certificate programs, supplemented by custom corporate executive education (ranked #2 nationally by the Financial Times in 2026), corporate recruiting partnerships through the Corporate Associates Program, alumni philanthropy (including the $7,500/year Miami Herbert Family Circle), and veteran benefits administration. Over $10 million in scholarships was awarded to the Fall 2025 incoming class, with 74% of graduate students receiving merit-based aid. The school's go-to-market is sales-led, relying on admissions advisors, recruitment events, campus visits, and corporate recruiting partnerships to drive enrollment.
