The Robinson College of Business offers a special program designed for mid- to C-level professionals. One class is admitted in August of each year to the Executive MBA program.
The purpose of the Executive MBA program is to provide experienced executives and managers an innovative curriculum relevant to the needs of an ever-changing global business environment. The Financial Times 2005 Survey of Executive MBA (EMBA) Programs ranked the J. Mack Robinson College of Business among the top 40 programs worldwide and among the top 20 in the U.S
Typically, Executive MBA participants possess seven to ten years of professional experience including managerial responsibilities with increased responsibility in their career and the ability to handle executive-level responsibility.
Designed as a lock-step format, students begin in August and remain together throughout the course of the program. There are no electives, and students receive an MBA in general management 18 months later at the end of the program. Subject matter is integrated, rather than being taught as separate disciplines. This integration magnifies the entire learning experience and is more easily achieved in a lock-step format. The format also facilitates the formation and work relationships of study teams. Classes are held every other week on Fridays and Saturday.
A highlight of the program is the International Study Tour, a 14-day intensive blend of culture and business. Past trips have included Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Argentina. On-site visits help students develop sensitivity to conducting business on an international level.
