Executive Master of Business Administration
The Executive MBA Program has been designed to meet the educational and professional needs of managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders.
The Executive MBA curriculum addresses in particular senior, highly self-motivated, analytically-oriented leaders with global or international interests. It is designed for individuals with significant potential, ambition, and those committed to expand their understanding of the broader matrix of business and administration across geographical and cultural boundaries.
As such, the program is largely self-directed. Classes are constructed in an “executive” format to allow maximum flexibility for active professionals and entrepreneurs. Via the refined curriculum, program participants will acquire a sophisticated degree of concept and theory mastery and the research skills required to confront an ever-widening range of contemporary management topics, including a well-developed understanding of entrepreneurial thinking and planning in a globally competitive world.
The EMBA curriculum represents a strategic balance of multiple elements: technical rigor, management theory, practical, innovative applications, and knowledge integration, all designed for contextual, real-life (corporate or other) applications.
EMBA graduates are apt to have a competitive edge over more traditionally trained peers within any organizational environment.
Program Objectives
- Prepare for leadership and service within a broad spectrum of business and business-related arenas, by demonstration of process and organizational mastery.

- Evidence a comprehensive, nuanced understanding of the functional components of business - economics, marketing, accounting, finance, law, management, thus enabling the holder of the Master’s degree to assume managerial and leadership positions and like positions in which they will have the occasion to contribute to the development, sustenance or growth of the organization.

- Further hone communicative skills, which underpin the ability to conduct independent research and to formulate documents, reports, and publications that manifest mastery of content and execution.
Career Opportunities
The successful graduate will be suitably prepared to assume senior (executive) level appointments within the corporate sector, in industry, in government, in other professional arenas – or, alternatively, to assume enhanced (executive leadership) responsibilities within the context of a currently-held position. The degree, founded on, and grounded in, intensive training and high-pitched expectations, is intended to provide the keys to advancement and expanded opportunities at the senior and executive levels.
