The Benefits of an Executive MBA
A n Executive MBA is an accelerated degree program designed especially for busy professionals. It’s an educational paradigm that’s becoming known as one of the fastest and best ways for professionals to advance their careers. And for good reason.
Here’s how the Executive MBA Council (EMBAC) describes the unique aspects of an Executive MBA program*:
EMBA Programs allow business leaders to receive their MBA in two years or less while continuing to work full time. Format options vary from program to program and include all-day classes once a week, monthly or bimonthly week long blocks of classes, and many other variations. Most EMBA Programs tend to begin in August, followed by September and January as the other most popular entering times. Traditional full-time MBA programs are on full-day intensive schedules. Generally, EMBA students enter the program, complete classes, and graduate with the same group of students, known as a cohort. Cohorts often turn into a valuable lifelong network that students can access long after they receive their degree. To address the needs of busy professionals, EMBA Programs offer services that other programs may not. Services for students also will vary by program, but many services, such as taking care of registration, providing meals during classes, and supplying books, are considered staples of the EMBA experience.

EMBA Programs emphasize applied learning, leadership and personal skill development, and a global mindset.
