Center for Executive Education
SKILL UP TO LEVEL UP
In spring 2024, Jones College of Business relaunched its executive education program, offering all new courses and professional certificates designed to help you take your career to the next level.
MTSU’s Executive Education Center extends Jones College’s world-class education to professionals. These short-term courses are taught by faculty and industry experts who can provide insights and knowledge directly applicable to real-world challenges and are designed to provide an intensive learning experience to fit any schedule. Part of this revitalization effort included hiring the new director of executive education, Carly Escue.
“I am both thrilled and honored to join the True Blue community. It’s an exciting time on campus, and I am eager to contribute to the innovative spirit that drives the Jones College of Business forward,” Escue said.

Last fall, the theme of executive education sessions—Skill Up to Level Up—reflected the commitment to providing you with the cutting-edge tools and knowledge necessary to elevate your career or enhance your team’s capabilities.
Under Dean Joyce Heames’ leadership, the center curated a comprehensive set of courses designed to keep you ahead in today’s competitive business landscape. Three tracks were available last fall, including AI / Data Analytics, which encompassed these courses:
AI for Business Managers: This course dived into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) to demystify AI and explore its transformative potential. It provided practical insights to boost productivity and drive innovation in organizations.
Mastering Data Analysis and Visualization: This comprehensive workshop enhanced data analysis skills and highlighted powerful tools to turn raw data into actionable business insights.
Unlocking Business Potential with Location Analytics: This course illustrated how to use spatial data to optimize operations, enhance marketing strategies, and make informed decisions that drive profitability.
By participating in courses like these, you can advance toward a certificate from MTSU’s Jones College of Business that signifies your commitment to staying at the forefront of your industry.
Courses like these bring you to campus to fully experience the benefits of the MTSU community. From the engaging, hands-on learning environments to the unique networking opportunities, being on campus offers an enriching experience to enhance your executive education in a workshop setting.
