Executive MBA

Each Saturday of the 21-month Suffolk Executive MBA Program, busy managers and business professionals arrive on campus, ready to be fully engaged. Typically mid-level executives, they are committing part of each weekend to learn how to be better leaders.

Unlike traditional MBA programs that present courses in sequential order, the Suffolk Executive MBA Program teaches courses in clusters that mirror how business works across functional areas. You move through the curriculum as part of a cohort of 20-25 students, attending five clusters of courses and four residential seminars. During the program, you design an experiential, career-based, field research project and present it during the final semester.
