Master of Business Administration EXECUTIVE (E-MBA)

PROGRAM COMPONENTS The core curriculum provides you with an advanced management foundation, which you then amplify with specialized electives and projects that align the program with your own learning priorities. WEEKEND SESSIONS The 26 weekend sessions meet all day Friday and Saturday and are spaced about three weeks apart. These sessions provide iterative engagement with the program courses and an opportunity for you to work with classmates and build on one another’s experiences. EXECUTIVE MODULES The four executive modules are each seven to eight days long and spread six months apart. They offer an immersive experience during which you realize the benefits of being a fulltime student at MIT. The executive modules combine intensive classwork, collaboration with classmates on projects, and evening events and speakers that build a tight bond within your MIT community. APPLIED PROJECTS Action learning projects are a central component of classes. They give you an opportunity to immediately apply the methodologies you learn to your company and to industries of interest. The capstone project is Global Organizations Lab (GO-Lab). You work in a small EMBA team for an international company helping them solve a global integration issue. This includes one week at company sites abroad for field research and immersion in the company’s challenges. ELECTIVES Electives provide an opportunity to deeply explore specific areas of interest. There are three periods during which you take electives: January ’14, January ’15, and Spring ’15. Each January you have the opportunity to take two to four days of electives. Actual electives, which vary from year to year, focus on advanced topics and cuttingedge research. EMBA students may also take advantage of full cross-registration privileges at Harvard and in MIT’s full-time programs.THE EXECUTIVE MBA (EMBA) is an 18-month program designed to meet the needs of busy, working professionals who wish to pursue an EMBA degree without interrupting their careers.
