Executive MBA

Reach a higher degree of success. Ranked among the top programs worldwide by Forbes and Financial Times.

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
