Curriculum

Emory's Executive MBA curriculum is globally recognized for developing strategic thinking skills and expanding business acumen. Our program offers a strong general management lockstep curriculum designed to build on the solid experiences our students bring into the program. This integrated curriculum covers the fundamentals of business, including classes in finance, accounting, marketing, strategy and economics while also showing students how to navigate complex and often ambiguous situations across all areas of business. While the curriculum allows for some measure of customization, in the end, it is designed to help today’s executives gain the broad knowledge base they need to lead their organizations.
