The Post Graduate Program in Management for ExecuYves (UCLA PGPX) is designed especially for Professionals and
Entrepreneurs with a busy work schedule, that does not permit them to pursue a full-Yme MBA program.
In a fast-paced environment, organizaYons cannot aord to grant long sabbaYcals to Senior ExecuYves to abend a full-Yme
program. PGPX addresses this need by allowing parYcipants to undergo a formal, part-Yme management program with
minimal disrupYon of their work and personal pursuits.
Its coverage of content is extensive and it covers all the advanced management concepts in a 60+ days curriculum, arguably
the rst of its kind in South Asia and India. As depicted, PGPX is tailored specically for experienced professionals and is quite
disYnct from full-Yme and part-Yme MBA programs.
