Sometimes, however, a telephone or in-person interview is requested to learn more about a candidate before reaching an admission decision. Attending full-time gives students the ability to fully immerse themselves in EMTM and complete their degree quickly. Attending half-time offers personal flexibility and the ability to put increased energy into a reduced course load. With a lighter course load students can put extra energy into courses that apply to their work. An important part of EMTM is interaction with other students in study groups and informally.
Students learn as much from each other as they do from their coursework.
The evenings before classes are key to this interaction and to networking that provides EMTM students with a lifelong professional network. For these reasons, staying on campus is essential and hotel charges are never waived. They are part of the program fee. Employers sponsor most students in full or in part as they see EMTM as an investment in their company's future. Employer payment can be extended up to 2 years past enrollment.
