The executive masters of business administration option is a rigorous program in general management for fully employed professionals. Designed for managers and professionals who typically have at least five years of full-time managerial work experience, it consists of courses similar to the full-time MBA program but is unique in reflecting the work and management experience of its students. The EMBA is a general degree and does not offer specialization in functional areas.

Obtaining an MBA degree through the executive MBA option requires a year-round commitment for two years. Students spend one residency week on campus at the beginning of each school year in a complex case analysis and other concentrated study. Executive MBA classes are not available to students outside the EMBA program.
