1. What is the difference between the Executive MBA program and the regular MBA Program?

The Executive MBA is designed for professionals who have a minimum of five years of work experience and who want to earn an MBA without disrupting their careers. The program is delivered on a one-day-per-week basis. The EMBA program focuses on the cohort experience in an environment where students learn as much from their peers as they do from their professors. The EMBA format also means that all administrative duties are taken care of for our students.
