This is a 19-month programme offered largely electronically. However, students do convene with faculty in sites in North America, Europe, Asia and South America. Students study on campus in Durham and at the university's Frankfurt campus. In Austria WU Vien offers a joint EMBA with the Carlson School of Management, which is part of the University of Minnesota. Between taught modules the students keep in touch in virtual chat rooms.
Students spend the first seven months in Vienna and the last seven in South Carolina.
In Germany, WHU Koblenz's Otto Beisham Graduate School of Management runs a joint Executive MBA programme with the JL Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanstown, near Chicago. The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Fundacio Getulio Vargas in Sao Paulo, Brazil, are also involved. Although the LSE is not a business school, it will offer a social and political perspective on business issues - what's going on in the Pacific Rim, for instance. Each month students will alternate between studying in London and New York. Foundation courses will be delivered online and students will choose their electives from the two schools' extensive portfolios.
