The EMBA Network
A Network of Students
Because Executive MBA students already have high-potential jobs and are well along on their career tracks, you will find that there is no competition between classmates for the best post-MBA position. You, along with your classmates, are motivated and accomplished, but you are also deeply focused on the benefits of collaborative learning and sharing your ideas. About 40 percent of course work is team-oriented, which results in a strong professional — and often personal — network of peers.
