Return on Investment
Here are just a few of the benefits that students and their sponsoring organizations receive from the Executive MBA (EMBA) Programs:
- EMBA students learn management skills that can be put to use in the workplace immediately. They learn from professors who are well attuned to the challenges and situations that business leaders face today.
- Sponsorship signals an employer’s commitment to leadership development — a motivating message for other employees within the organization. Additionally, sponsoring organizations have found that employee job satisfaction and retention has increased as a result of enrolling employees in the EMBA experience.
- EMBA students have access to outstanding resources: renowned faculty members, state-of-the-art facilities and exposure to both theory and practice in the world’s financial centers. They have the advantage of bringing the knowledge gained in class back for immediate use in their sponsoring organizations. Moreover, EMBA students form global networks of contacts and foster professional relationships across major industries, from which they can draw upon long after the program ends.
- Class exercises and special projects provide an unparalleled opportunity to apply learning to the organization’s current business challenges. In the Marketing Strategy course, for example, students do a field project analyzing marketing activities in an organization of their choice. The diverse perspectives of the project team members, the intense focus on a strategic challenge and insights and recommendations from faculty members offer tremendous value to both students and their organizations.
- Students learn valuable prioritization and time management skills by combining work with their MBA studies.
