TODAY’S WEEKEND WARRIORS ARE TOMORROW’S LEADERS

Build your business acumen in core courses that make sure you’re up to date for tomorrow’s business world. When you aren’t learning from experts or trading ideas with peers in the classroom, you’ll dive into learning immersions like a global study trip, a policy trip to D.C., or an executive skills workshop in Atlanta. Through it all, you’ll be pushed to think beyond what you know, find solutions for real-world clients, and learn how to lead a team ready to tackle any problem.

Program Timeline

The Executive MBA curriculum is divided into three distinctive elements—core courses, elective courses, and immersions—designed to build upon one another to amplify your learning along the way. Spanning 18 months, the STEM degree requires 27 core credits, 2 immersions, and 24 elective credits to graduate. In other words, nine core classes, two immersions, and eight electives.

EMBA students, regardless of delivery format (on-campus, hybrid, online), complete the same curriculum over the same timeline. Students in each EMBA program format have the opportunity to engage with one another during immersions and in the classroom when hybrid EMBA students are on campus three weekends each semester. Fall (August) and Spring (January) program start dates are available.
