EMBA Program Orientation
You will not need to take any business course prerequisites prior to entering the EMBA program. Program orientation will get you and your classmates on the same page before you begin your classes. Students will however, need to complete fundamental accounting and economics coursework before classes begin. This permits Executive MBA faculty to spend less time going over fundamentals and more time on information that is immediately applicable to your job.
Online Synchronous Sessions
Online synchronous sessions will occur each week of class on Saturdays from 8AM - 11AM CT.
In-person Residencies
There are 6 on-campus residencies throughout the 17-month Executive MBA program. Residencies include in-person instruction and cohort collaboration. This includes program orientation and graduation.
Cohort Program
The Executive MBA is a cohort program. Your EMBA class will begin with the Core Business curriculum. After finishing the Core curriculum, students will complete one of two concentration tracks before rejoining the entire cohort for the Capstone Project.
3 Certificate Options / Find Your Fit
Students also have the option to complete sections of the program for individual certificates. The Core Business Curriculum translates to an Executive Graduate Certificate in Business. The Executive Business Leadership Concentration translates to an Executive Graduate Certificate in Business Leadership, and the Executive Business Analytics Concentration translates to an Executive Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics.
Student-Designed & Project-Based Capstone
In the Capstone course, students conduct an integrative applied project for their current organization (or another organization of choice). Students are supervised and mentored by expert faculty throughout the 8 week project.
