Executive MBA

The Executive MBA (EMBA) is an 18-month cohort MBA format designed for leadership in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Candidates with at least 8 years of managerial experience, who are looking to enhance their understanding and ability to integrate the business disciplines, advance their managerial skills, and further their leadership effectiveness are best served by our EMBA format. The EMBA is a key component of the talent management efforts of successful organizations.

The EMBA format is conducive to the busy schedule of advancing managers. EMBA courses are offered every other week (twice monthly) on Friday and Saturday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, with two courses completed over 5 weeks. Courses are presented in topical modules that reflect the multidisciplinary nature of business. Additionally, the EMBA features an International Research Course focused on comparative corporate governance that is conducted over a 7-9 day abroad study.
