The Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) in Leadership
Development is an intensive,18-month program specifically designed for rising
and mid-career executives, both in context and convenience. Candidates for this
program are at a point in their careers where they need to develop themselves
professionally more fully in order to reach their maximum potential in the
corporate world. The course work combines both practical business knowledge with
real-world relevance, allowing students opportunities to apply concepts and
skills immediately within their organizations. The program is formatted for
full-time study without career interruption. Students are admitted to a cohort
class once each year and remain with that class throughout the entire
program.
The curriculum is taught in a team-oriented environment where courses are
integrated across 18-months to emphasize broader strategic management and
leadership skills. Students move through the program in a lock-step fashion.
The program uses a variety of instructional techniques and learning
experiences to develop the intellect, enrich the character, and shape the
individual as a leader. At the beginning of the program, each student is
assigned a study group (cohort) that remains intact throughout the duration of
the program. Through a study group approach, students explore concepts as teams,
learn in the classroom, and expand the learning into action in the forms of
research, projects, case studies, and consulting responsibilities.
