An Executive MBA is a specialized type of MBA. The right candidate for an Executive MBA typically has:
- Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree (required) and possibly a graduate or professional degree in a field other than business administration, such as medicine, law or engineering.
- Work Experience: A minimum of eight years of work experience, 15 years on average. Work experience is heavily valued, with emphasis on increasing amounts of responsibility through the progression of your career.
- Current Employment: A position with significant management responsibility or an entrepreneurial role with top-level responsibility.
- Career Goals: Clearly defined goals that an EMBA would help achieve. It is important to define how you expect to use the knowledge, skills and contacts you will develop.
- Motivation and Temperament: Energy, drive and ambition to succeed. An Executive MBA program will demand a significant amount of time and effort on top of your job responsibilities, and students must be highly motivated to successfully accomplish the program.
