The Executive MBA program challenges senior managers to step out of their comfort zone and go even further – on both a professional and a personal level. With a focus on experience-driven learning and collaboration among colleagues, you will be part of a rewarding learning experience and emerge an even stronger leader. Each cohort is assigned an alumnus class advisor who acts as a mentor and coach throughout the program – a resource many EMBAs cite as one of the most indispensable aspects of the Pepperdine experience.
Designed around a "live case" model, students undertake Applied Research Projects in which they dig deep into every facet of their own organization, culminating in a comprehensive strategic plan they can implement in their business.
Emphasizing ethics and responsible business practice, you will develop the executive skills to:
- Manage and motivate others in increasingly complex and dynamic environments
- Anticipate and assess critical operational issues and opportunities
- Access, organize, and analyze important economic and management information
- Identify and forecast trends and changes in domestic and global markets
- Develop functionally integrated business plans to achieve strategic goals
