The Executive MBA (also called EMBA) Program was introduced to meet the educational needs of managers, executives, and other business leaders. The program allows mid-stage professionals to earn an MBA or another business-related graduate degree in two years or less while continuing to work. Students enter the program, complete classes, and graduate with the same group of students. Programs have grown quickly in number and expanded throughout the world. Currently, more than 210 universities and colleges in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, the South Pacific, and Africa offer Executive MBA Programs.
Executive MBA programs are typically delivered in a time efficient format (such as on evenings, weekends, alternate weekends or online) that allows professionals to earn their MBA degree while working part- or full-time.
