What Mona School of Business and Management does

Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM) is the premier graduate business school within The University of the West Indies (UWI), located at UWI's Mona Campus in Kingston, Jamaica. Founded in 2012 with approximately 102 employees, MSBM delivers eight graduate programmes: an AMBA-accredited MBA plus seven MSc specializations in Accounting, Corporate Finance, Computer Based Management Information Systems, Enterprise Risk Management, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Marketing & Data Analytics, and National Security & Strategic Studies. Programmes are delivered face-to-face at the Mona Campus, with two programmes (Marketing & Data Analytics and National Security & Strategic Studies) offered in blended mode combining online and in-person instruction to accommodate working professionals.

MSBM's technology stack is modest, centered on a blended learning delivery platform for select programmes and an award-winning Finance Lab providing hands-on training with industry-standard financial tools. The school generates revenue through tuition and academic programme fees from graduate students primarily across the Caribbean region, with full-time and part-time enrolment models. The GTM motion is sales-led, with prospective students directed through interest forms on the website (discover.msbm-uwi.org) capturing programme preferences, education level, work experience, and contact details. MSBM is a publicly funded constituent of UWI, a regional public university system, and therefore does not raise private capital or generate returns for external investors. Beyond tuition, MSBM provides consultancy services and public policy research to regional decision-makers, functioning as a non-degree revenue and reputation driver.
