Overview

The online Executive Master of Business Administration (eMBA) Program is a two year program uniquely designed to meet the challenging needs of mid-career professionals who wish to pursue an MBA degree with the least possible disruption to their professional and personal lives. The program is offered online and combines the advanced business concepts of a Master of Business Administration curriculum and prepares candidates to lead and manage organizations in the private and energy sector.

The program is delivered entirely online and is administered through the Blackboard Academic Suites. These platforms include virtual classrooms, live chats, online lectures, and teleconferencing. The program provides a flexible course schedule to allow students to maintain a regular full-time work schedule. Geared towards the working professional, the e-MBA program does not require the regular graduate admission exams for admission; however, it does put emphasis on years of professional work experience as one of the major admissions criteria.
