An International Business Trip to a business center outside of the United States that includes visits to plants and headquarters of companies, discussions with foreign managers, briefings by government officials, and cultural activities. Students are responsible for arranging visits or briefings on topics of special interest to them or to their businesses. The Executive MBA schedule is designed to minimize disruption of participants' work schedules while allowing them to complete the degree in less than two years. The program begins once each year, in the fall. Classes meet for one full day, once a week, on alternating Fridays and Saturdays.
Students take a summer break after the first nine months of classes.
An academic calendar and class dates are included with the application materials inside the back pocket of this booklet. If a student transfers out of the state because of a job change before the program is completed, it is possible to finish the MBA via one of CU's distance MBA programs. Executive MBA students, who are required to leave the area before completing their degrees and are in good academic standing, can transfer to one of CU's distance MBA's and earn a University of Colorado MBA from anywhere in the world. Well Spent The intensive nature of the program requires a significant time commitment. In addition to class time, participants typically spend between 20 and 25 hours per week on schoolwork.
