The Executive MBA Program
The Executive MBA Program (EMBA) is designed to accelerate your career into executive management. You will learn and grow experientially along with a stimulating group of peers - a "cohort" of other working professionals whose experiences will add depth to the structured sequences of classes that make up the 23-month program. To enable you to maintain your full-time career, classes meet seven hours a week during evenings or on Saturdays.
Location
EMBA classes are held at convenient location in downtown San Francisco. The state-of-the-art facility ensure you will enjoy a productive and comfortable learning environment.
Class Hours
EMBA classes meet two evenings a week from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. or on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Generally, classes meet every week year-round except major public holidays.
The Cohort Experience
Students enter and exit the program with the same set of colleague, and as such, develop a tight, supportive network of people from a broad cross section of Bay Area organizations.
