The Executive MBA program is designed for working professionals. This globally-focused, full-time program accommodates the active personal and professional schedules of managers and executives. An Executive MBA is one of the best ways to increase your value as a team member and manager.

An International Business Study Tour is included as part of the program to help you gain first-hand experience of how foreign businesses operate and to expand your personal and professional horizons.
