Your class will be a diverse group of professionals: from business and finance executives to doctors, lawyers, engineers, non-profit leaders and entrepreneurs, among others.

The program fees include meals on program days, accomodations during residential modules and all course material and text books.

Enriched Learning Environment

Each EMBA class is a diverse group of people that could include executives from multinational corporations, health care professionals, media managers, or entrepreneurs running their own businesses. Students are selected for their motivation, professional and personal achievements, potential for continuing success, and strong interpersonal skills. Because of this, our classes are a stimulating learning environment in which students can crosspollinate ideas with others as talented and capable as they are.

The Commitment We Ask of Employers

Arrange the work schedules and responsibilities of participants to allow for their attendance. Courses are structured to maximize the transfer of knowledge while minimizing the time participants spend away from work. Class days are scheduled every two weeks on Friday and Saturday. There are also four one-week residential sessions during the program.

Encourage the student to conduct in-company projects for their project-based coursework. In the past, companies have seen significant returns on this type of work. (See How the Executive MBA can pay for Itself.)
Consider providing the Executive MBA candidate with financial support for his/her tuition. Investing in an Executive MBA will pay dividends for years to come.

How the Executive MBA Can Pay for Itself

Students have been able to deliver five- to six- figure savings to their companies as a result of in-company projects completed during the EMBA program.

The program includes real-life projects that answer challenging business problems.That’s one of the many benefits of a program that allows students to continue to work full-time while they study.
