Executive MBA

The Executive MBA (EMBA), Fordham’s executive-style MBA program, is designed for business professionals and managers on the fast track toward challenging managerial and global assignments. 

The Executive MBA Program, which has been ranked by The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News and World Report and CEO Magazine, is offered at both the Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus as well as the Westchester Campus (Harrison, New York), and it is intended for candidates with at least seven years of professional experience.

Most monthly sessions are held from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday through Sunday at either campus of choice. Sessions are also held at an executive conference center in Westchester.

The Executive MBA (EMBA), which is global in scope, focuses on building each student’s “Personal Portfolio” in Management Development and Strategy (i.e. creating, delivering, sustaining value) that can be implemented immediately in the workplace. The program also includes an international study trip lasting five days as a capstone pedagogical experience. The most recent study trip was to China but other potential destinations can include South Africa, Turkey, India and South America.
