Executive MBA

Curriculum

The Executive MBA (EMBA) program is a 50-unit curriculum that concentrates on the development of strategic leadership competencies through a collaborative learning environment. This highly-acclaimed program includes a four-day effective executive residential workshop and an eight-day international residential held at locations of emerging importance in global business.

Applied Research Project: Your Company

The Applied Research Project is an integral part of the EMBA curriculum. In the first trimester, students select one business — often their own company — as a "live case" study. Throughout each trimester, the student will assume the lead role for the organization and perform the following:

• Assess findings from the internal and external perspective
• Develop a clear vision and list of strategic and financial goals
• Craft a strategy to achieve these goals
• Integrate an implementation plan ensuring the success of the intended strategy

In the last trimester, students deliver a final written capstone encompassing the knowledge gained in the program, applied to their project company. This approach allows students to bring the concepts and skills they learn in class to the workplace the very next day, and culminates with a comprehensive strategic plan they can implement.
