תוכניות למנהלים Executive MBA – Top EMBA Programs
תוכניות ה-EMBA נלמדות בדרך כלל בפורמט של part time והן נועדו כדי לספק למנהלים מנוסים כלים ומידע מהעולם האמיתי שיסייעו להם להתקדם בקריירה, בלי להפריע ללוחות הזמנים העמוסים שלהם ולמחוייבויות הקשורות בתפקיד. סטודנטים בתוכניות ה-EMBA הם בממוצע בגיל 37 עם לפחות 10 שנות נסיון תעסוקתי ניהולי. דרישות הקבלה כוללות בדרך כלל מינימום של 7 שנות נסיון תעסוקתי, בעוד ציון GMAT/GRE נדרש רק בחלק מהתוכניות.
