The Class Experience
The EMBA curriculum consists of 18 courses across three terms. Term themes are designed around relevant business topics and may change to reflect issues facing business at that time.
The faculty members coordinate their materials and approaches around each of these term themes, which allows for team teaching opportunities and ensures the delivery of an integrated curriculum.
The careful sequencing of the individual classes, courses, and term themes are designed to build on one another throughout the program's three terms to provide you with a powerful and unique learning experience.

Global Business Experiences
Discovery Expedition
Often referred to as a highlight of the EMBA experience, the Discovery Expedition brings participants to either Brazil or Vietnam in Term 3 to learn about international business practices and operations first-hand. Led by an EMBA faculty member, participants will engage with leading global business professionals, hear from guest speakers, participate in site visits and explore the local culture.
