"In my experience, an MBA has become an expected accomplishment of executive level managers. I already had extensive business knowledge but wanted to get the 'pedigree' to go with my experience to enrich my career progression. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I gained much more in this program. Within three months of starting, I was already applying the skills and knowledge I'd learned in class. The Executive program is also far superior to other MBA programs. It is the most convenient class schedule for the busy executive, you benefit from interacting with other executive level peers and you learn from the best professors at the University. It is a grueling program but well worth the effort."

"Anyone who is considering how they can enhance their business career should make the EMBA the cornerstone of their career plans. I was amazed at the promotions and opportunities that became available to my classmates even before they finished the program. This is a definite career booster; however, don't enroll unless you are serious about business and achieving your career goals. The program offers much more than you can imagine in the way of education and career development, but you have to make the effort."
