Who Should Attend?

We designed the Executive MBA - Strategic Leadership for established leaders who want to accelerate their professional growth and revolutionize their industry and organization. The average EMBA-SL participant has around 20 years of professional experience and over 10 years of leadership experience.

Each cohort consists of an average of just 30 students, creating a close-knit environment in which EMBA-SL participants can form lasting connections with their peers and professors. Program participants and alumni represent organizations including Collins Aerospace, Ernst & Young, Google, Honeywell, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the US Army, the US Navy and more.

Integrated Approach

We don’t teach you financial acumen for the sake of teaching you financial acumen. We provide instruction in this business function as it relates to other areas like human resources, marketing and supply chain management. This holds true across our entire program structure. We take an interdisciplinary approach in our instruction, reflective of actual business operations, designed to prepare leaders to make more strategic, holistic business decisions.

Immediate Impact

Central to your experience as a student in the program is the execution of an Organizational Action Project designed to increase your immediate impact with real organizational returns. This applied learning approach prepares you to not only gain traction in your role in the short-term, but also build momentum in your career for the long-term.

Accelerated Change

Strategic leaders in top-tier organizations push boundaries to drive transformational change, whether it’s in the form of company dividends, employee satisfaction or organizational agility. As an EMBA-SL student, we provide you with the tools to make changes like this possible on an efficient and effective scale through a practical learning format that allows you to bring immediate action back to your organization.
