Executive Master of Business Administration Program
Faculty of Business Administration
91ÅÝܽ Calendar 2010-2011
This program is for experienced, mid to upper level managers and professionals seeking to improve their capacity to lead, think strategically, and manage change. The program emphasizes global business leadership skills, strategic analysis, and change management.
The program utilizes a cohort model where students complete courses in the same sequence, and student interaction and co-operation are emphasized. Study groups and project teams are an important aspect of the learning experience.
Because Executive MBA students pursue full-time careers, classes typically meet on alternate weekends, all day Friday and Saturday, and are held at Segal Graduate School of Business.
The program is for mid-career managers or executives who want to continue working while studying in a collegial environment. The program takes a general management perspective; it focuses on organizational and decision-making processes that cut across functional divisions.
