Why Choose Scheller's EMBA Program?
Unlike a Full-time or Evening MBA program designed for earlier career professionals, an Executive MBA program is ideal for seasoned professionals looking to propel their career. The average Executive MBA student has about 10 to 15 years of full-time, professional work experience. Students bring a wealth of knowledge from a vast array of industries and functional areas into the classroom, creating an unparalleled environment for learning and networking.
The program enrolls once a year with classes beginning in the fall. With five application deadlines to choose from, you can lay out a self-paced plan to prepare and apply for the program when the time is right. The earlier you apply, the quicker you gain access to the benefits of the Executive MBA program prior to the first day of class.
