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. Before completing the EMBA program, each student will have mastered the key elements of effective management and leadership in today s organizations. Because the program is demanding, it requires a high level of commitment and motivation. We seek individuals who have a proven track record of success in academic and professional pursuits, who are recognized by their companies as key personnel, who have strong character, and who, through a variety of venues, have shown strong leadership potential. A bachelor s degree or its equivalent is required for admission to the program.
Degrees can be business or non-business related.
Admission is limited to individuals who have at least seven years of professional work experience with five of those years in a significant managerial role or as a business owner. Team leadership and management of projects, budgets, products and resources are also important in the admission decision process. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of accounting, statistics and economics prior to beginning the program. Proficiency in Microsoft Office is also important. Primer sessions in these areas are held during the summer prior to the start of the first fall semester.
