EMBA Course Info

When designing the EMBA curriculum, the program faculty asked themselves a single question:  Is this program a transformative experience that provides opportunities to learn what every senior executive needs to know?  The answer, we believe, is yes! 

Extraordinary learning takes places during residence periods when faculty members present concepts in all business disciplines either in a traditional classroom setting, by conducting interactive simulations, or through outdoor experiential activities.  Each residence period culminates in a “synthesis project” that allows students to work in team and to apply the concepts they’ve learned in a highly challenging and competitive environment.  Faculty observation is a hallmark of this event, and feedback is immediate and extensive to maximize the learning experiencing.

During residence periods, students have a wealth of opportunity to interact and network with classmates and faculty inside the classroom and out.  One of the advantages of undertaking an EMBA program is having access to successful business people from around the world.  Students have the opportunity to learn much from the faculty, but always learn a great deal from each other as well.  Discussions that take place during lunches and dinners and time spent just hanging out with classmates are just as much a part of the learning process as a 90 minute lecture on accounting or finance.  It is the whole experience that counts.

Between residence periods, students complete assignments based on information and concepts that have been learned during residence periods or through distance learning classes.  Assignments are directly applied to business practices within your company—putting lessons to work, at work—that’s how learning is transformed into knowledge.
