Executive MBA

Our Executive MBA program is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, the premier accrediting agency for business degree programs. Business schools accredited by AACSB include the University of Chicago, University of California-Berkeley, Yale University, Stanford University, and Duke University.

Classes meet on Saturdays, allowing participants to earn an MBA without interrupting their careers. 

Each course consists of four on-campus Saturday meetings and four online sessions. The on-campus meetings are held on alternating Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.. 

The curriculum is designed to give practicing managers and executives the skills needed to assume leadership roles in their organizations. The program consists of eleven graduate courses, which employ lectures, readings, cases, guest business speakers, simulations and computer packages.

The program sponsors workshops and lectures to complement the Executive MBA curriculum. The workshops and lectures present a broad range of business viewpoints to our students and lead to networking opportunities.

Workshops

The half-day to full-day workshops are independent of the course work and are optional for the participants enrolled in the program. The presentation topics are initiated by the students. To expose our students to many schools of thought, the workshops are conducted by regional and national authorities. Former students are also invited to participate in the workshops.

Luncheon Lecture Series

Local and regional business leaders speak to the Executive MBA students during lunch. A typical presentation consists of a lecture and question/answer session.

The College of Business is very efficient with its assets; therefore, we can offer a quality Executive MBA program at a reasonable price. With Southeastern being one of the largest universities in the state, and the College of Business being the largest college on campus, our Executive MBA students share the fixed costs of an education with many other students. Also, given that undergraduate and master’s level business programs are our focus, the College of Business does not have to support a small, expensive doctoral business program. We have a very good business model.

The total cost of the program is $20,676. This fee is all inclusive. It covers tuition, books, cases, workshops, luncheon lectures, lunches, snacks, graduation fees and parking fees.

Although the fees are relatively low, quality is not sacrificed. We charge the least that we can to sustain a quality program. Being a state-supported university, we have a social responsibility to offer Louisiana residents a quality executive business education at a reasonable price. We subscribe to the notion that everyone benefits from an educated society.

Southeastern Louisiana University is located in Hammond, where I-12 and I-55 intersect. The main campus is conveniently located within one hour of New Orleans, forty-five minutes of Baton Rouge, and twenty-five minutes of St. Tammany Parish.
