Executive MBA Curriculum

The Executive MBA curriculum helps you develop new skills, changes how you think about business problems, transforms your leadership style and opens up career opportunities.

It includes six key elements:

1. Practical classes that stress not just business knowledge but business know-how, the ability to put knowledge into practice with favorable results.
2. Numerous case-based and experiential learning methods.
3. An integrated-transformation field project in a company, perhaps your own, that will enhance your career opportunities.
4. Working with your own executive coach in appropriate developmental and leadership areas.
5. An international trip to Europe, Asia or Latin America comparing and contrasting business-decision making in global economies.
6. A trip to Washington DC, that tap into industry, regulatory and social-policy development processes.

These six elements highlight the blending of two curricular threads: Critical Skills and Successful Executive. You will take courses and have experiences in each thread every semester.
