Executive MBA
Sub-disciplines
An Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA) is a postgraduate program designed specifically to cater to working professionals with advanced technical experience and is looking to advance to higher levels within their fields of expertise.
Executive MBA study programs emphasise advanced business functions, leadership, and management at the executive level. They provide comprehensive knowledge on business and management topics, aid in the development of leadership skills, promote networking creation, and provide managers with an overall transformational experience.
Executive MBA programs are short-term programs with fewer class hours that enable business leaders to earn their MBA in two years or less while continuing to work full-time. The majority of Executive MBA programs are 18 to 30 months long and are significantly shorter than the other part-time MBA programs, which typically last for about three to five years. Executive MBA degrees are one of the most expensive study programs offered by colleges and universities both on-campus and online.
The main benefits of Executive MBA programs are that they offer advanced professional development and complement and update individuals' business skills. This is done in a short time with minimal opportunity cost while still working full-time.
