Executive Master of Business Administration Business-MBA

An Executive MBA is a special type of MBA program tailored to mid- and senior-level working professionals who want to study and keep their full-time jobs. Unlike mainstream MBA programs, which focus largely on the core disciplines of business management, EMBA programs assume that participants are familiar with the fundamentals of business and provide a curriculum that develops the skills to succeed in a climate of increased complexity, competiveness, and uncertainty. Typically, applicants to an EMBA program have more professional work experience than a general MBA applicant and candidates are often evaluated based on what they will bring to the program. EMBA students are almost always fully employed during their program; their professional experience and expertise are critical to the curriculum and the cohort dynamic. Classes typically meet on Fridays and Saturdays, with learning outside the classroom and extensive faculty and student/team interaction.
