Executive MBA Program

The Smith EMBA program is more than a degree program—we like to think of it as an 19-month-long executive development experience. That experience is dynamic and life-changing, opening your mind to the essence of strategy, broadening your circle of connections to include new peers and faculty, and developing your ability to lead in ways that are difficult to imagine. So to help you imagine the change that can happen for you, you’ll find throughout the site videos of faculty, students, and alumni who’ve experienced the transformation. Explore the Smith EMBA – and then join us. Meet Kim Sullivan, SMITH EMBA '10, in our newest video and find out why her experience with the Action Learning Project was both transformative and life-changing.
