THE VALUE OF AN EXECUTIVE MBA
FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES
WHAT IS AN EXECUTIVE MBA?
The Executive MBA (EMBA) is a specialized MBA program designed for working professionals, typically with at least six years of work experience and often with prior management responsibility. The class schedule is built to allow students to continue working while they pursue their studies and apply what they learn to their profession. The extensive business and leadership skills that students build upon in the classroom make an immediate impact on the organizations students work for.
Real-time & innovative education: Students apply what they learn in class to advance your organization’s efficiency and profitability.
The power of the network: Students connect with industry leaders that can become contacts, employees, or future clients for your organization.
Need-based customization: A third of coursework is elective options, allowing for customization that meets your organization’s specific needs.
