GLSS is honored to announce a new opportunity for learners ready to build on their problem-solving and leadership experience.
Founded by the team at GLSS, The Mana College has partnered with Tusculum University to launch a U.S.-accredited Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.
The first MBA cohort begins November 2, 2026.
The World’s First Lean Six Sigma MBA
The MBA brings the practical, results-focused approach GLSS learners already know into graduate-level business education.
Designed for working professionals, the program combines Lean Six Sigma with leadership, strategy, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, AI, data, and Ethical Efficiency™. Students apply what they learn through real-world projects, building a portfolio that demonstrates merit, mastery, and measurable impact.
The goal is simple: graduate with more than knowledge. Graduate with evidence of your ability to solve meaningful problems and deliver measurable results.
A U.S.-Accredited Pathway With More Ways to Fund Your Education
The MBA provides a U.S.-accredited pathway that can also open access to valuable education funding opportunities for eligible students.
- Federal Financial Aid: Qualify for Title IV federal student aid and loans, subject to individual eligibility.
- Military Education Benefits: Access GI Bill benefits, Military Tuition Assistance, and other education benefits available to eligible service members and veterans.
These options can help make graduate education more accessible while giving students the opportunity to earn a U.S.-accredited MBA built around practical application and measurable results.
Modern Leadership Grounded in Enduring Wisdom
The Mana College brings modern business practices together with knowledge and perspectives that have guided communities for generations.
The program incorporates Indigenous knowledge systems and stewardship, ethics and responsibility, long-term thinking, and cultural frameworks of leadership and legitimacy. Students learn to consider not only how to improve organizations, but how to do so responsibly while creating lasting value for people and communities. This philosophy connects closely with Tusculum University’s theme, “We are one.”
“We are one. At The Mana College, we believe the strongest leaders learn from the wisdom found across cultures and traditions. By bringing the world’s ancient knowledge systems together with modern leadership, technology, and continuous improvement, we can prepare leaders to create measurable impact while acting with ethics, responsibility, and stewardship.”
— Karlo Tanjuakio, Founder & Dean, The Mana College
Built for the GLSS Community
GLSS learners already know the value of applied education: learn practical skills, use them to solve real problems, and measure the results.
The Mana College extends that philosophy into an MBA designed to develop ethical, capable, and results-driven leaders. For GLSS alumni and other working professionals, it is an opportunity to deepen their business and leadership capabilities while continuing to turn knowledge into action and action into measurable impact.
