Earn your Executive MBA without losing momentum in your career

There’s no sugar-coating it: doing an Executive MBA is demanding, but you can’t afford to put your career on hold. Our program allows you to manage your studies and your regular workload without interrupting your office or home life for weeks at a time.

In addition to class sessions and two business trips, you can expect to spend on average 12 hours per week on course preparation, assignments and team meetings. We provide dates for your full 20-month class schedule, trips, and additional mandatory sessions well in advance, so you can balance your personal and professional commitments with your program commitments.

A practical way to learn

Classes are held weekly on alternating Fridays and Saturdays

Booking days or weeks off at a time is difficult both for the continuity of your career and the impact on your learning. Our schedule allows you to learn key concepts at a steady pace throughout the term while minimizing your time out of the office. This gives you the opportunity to practice in the workplace between classes, reflect on outcomes, and then return to the classroom to examine your experience and learn from it.

We make time for you to reflect and recharge with a two-month, class free preparation period in the summer between your first and second year. Learn more about our approach to work-life balance.

On-the-ground experience

Two separate, week-long international business consulting trips

Your cohort convenes in person during the two mandatory international trips and actively participate in activities together through these immersive components of the program. Your trips take place at the end of each Winter term.
