It’s Your Future. It’s Your Choice.

The Executive MBA is a conceptual, yet practical, program leading to the Master of
Business Administration degree. 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, speakers, simulations, and projects. Each course challenges participants with
current, critical business issues. There are no prerequisite courses to enroll in
the program.

The sequence of courses begins each January and ends approximately seventeen months
later. The program spans four semesters — Spring, Summer, Fall, and Spring. There
are holidays and breaks between semesters.

Our Executive MBA program allows you to choose the path that leads to your professional
success. There are two tracks available: a general MBA, and an MBA with a health care
management concentration. The general MBA participants can choose between
1) accounting and finance electives or 2) business electives.

 

The three choices that lead to an MBA degree are:

1. A general MBA (with accounting and finance electives)

2. A general MBA (with business electives)

3. An MBA with a Health Care Management Concentration

 

All Executive MBA students register for seven core courses and four non-core courses.
The seven core courses are required of all participants.

On-Line Quick-Start Seminars

While there are no prerequisite courses to enroll in the fundamental courses, Quick-Start
Seminars are presented on-line prior to each fundamental course. Since participants
possess varying degrees of experience in the major subject areas, these seminars are
designed to enhance the knowledge of students in finance, economics, accounting, marketing
and management. Online delivery of the seminars provides students with flexibility
as they gain the foundation necessary to successfully complete the fundamental courses.
Quick-Start Seminars are offered for the accounting, economics, finance, statistics,
management, and marketing courses.

 

Tutorial Sessions

Since our program participants come from diverse backgrounds and possess different
talents, optional tutorial sessions are offered for the quantitative courses. The
tutorial sessions allow students to sharpen their skills, when necessary, in order
to keep pace in the program. Tutorial sessions are offered for the finance, accounting,
and statistics courses.
