Untitled Document Fittingly, the last course in the EMBA program is the Capstone course. It is in this course, taught by Professor Rob Hamilton, that students synthesize the principles and knowledge they've acquired during the entire program and apply them to the strategic overview of a specific firm. I get to be sort of a classroom conductor-and that's fun. Hamilton draws praise from many former students for his Capstone course, which he says was inspired by the case study approach of his MBA courses at the University of Virginia. For Ed Boyer, Professor of Financial Management, teaching in the Temple EMBA program is all about teamwork.
Participants come with relatively well-defined goals about what they want.
I form a team with the students to work with them. Boyer also teams up with the other professors in the EMBA program to coordinate their course syllabi. Boyer's students work in teams in a course-long financial strategy game. Student groups, assigned to different companies, develop projects designed to solve problems and build on strengths that become evident through financial analysis. Recognizing the demands on professionals and executives whose free time is limited, we provide full-time staff dedicated to student service and satisfaction.
