Prospective students fluent in either English or Italian can earn their MBA in thriving Milan at the SDA Bocconi School of Management. The school's one,year MBA is split into four phases: the first two phases are dedicated to core requirements, the third to an interactive field business project, and the fourth to specialization electives. Students can concentrate in marketing and innovation, corporate finance and asset management or general management and strategy. In the latter two phases, students can also participate in an international exchange program with one of SDA Bocconi's international partners, which include the London Business School and Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

Ten specialized master's degree programs are available in areas like fashion, experience, design management, and fine food and beverage, as well as more traditional focus areas like finance and public management. The school also has two executive master's degrees in English, as well as executive and full,time MBA programs.

Italy loves Bocconi graduates, and the school attracts recruiters from around Europe in a range of industries. Campus is in downtown Milan, which means that housing is expensive, but students tell Vault that SDA Bocconi's placement assistants help with finding reasonably-priced apartments. Milan is known for its cultural offerings, and though the school organizes several annual social events, most after-class activities take place off-campus around the city.
