We attract small cohorts of participants with various industry backgrounds and we put them in the room with instructors with subject matter expertise, and industry experts as guest speakers. While students learn from instructors and industry leaders, the bedrock of EMBA program is peer learning through discussions and teamwork. Combining all these together results in a high-quality, experiential learning.
