Dean's Message
Associate Dean
W. Cliff Oxford Executive MBA Programs
I welcome your interest in the W. Cliff Oxford Executive MBA program at Emory's Goizueta Business School. The Goizueta Executive MBA offers a unique learning experience that yields a strong return on investment. Our EMBAs benefit from our reputation as one of the most established Executive MBA programs in the world. Our experience in delivering the Executive MBA, combined with a world-class faculty and our high energy classroom environment creates a high-impact learning environment. With a curriculum designed to develop today's senior leaders for tomorrow's challenges, the Goizueta experience creates "corner office capability" for Executive MBA's.
- The Goizueta Business School was one of the first business schools to offer the EMBA degree. Our stature among Executive MBA programs worldwide reflects the quality of our experience – we were recently ranked #7 in the world by Business Week.
- Our faculty of internationally known teachers and scholars impacts executive practice as consultants to many of the most important organizations in the world.
- Our student experience is second to none. The EMBA Program Office staff is dedicated to working with the students and faculty to deliver our high-impact curriculum.
- Our EMBA offers experiential leader development delivered in a systematic process of individual assessment and development, supplemented by coaching and the study of best practices.
The most significant benefit of a Goizueta Executive MBA is the return on your investment. Learning with and from your classmates, the EMBA accelerates your strategic thinking abilities, and allows you to take your learnings back to your workplace right away. The Goizueta EMBA is a powerful way for high-performers to significantly improve their career trajectory.
We offer two different formats to earn the Goizueta EMBA. Our Weekend EMBA is an Atlanta-based format that meets every other weekend for 16 months. Our Modular EMBA is a 21 month hybrid format: Seventy percent of the experience is delivered during quarterly week-long Atlanta-based residencies, and thirty percent is delivered through distributed education technologies between residencies.
Being part of the Goizueta community also opens up many other opportunities for our students. You can meet and interact with students in our other programs and attend events like our Dean's Leadership Speaker Series. You can visit the on-campus Michael C. Carlos Museum or hear lectures from visiting dignitaries at the Carter Center and the Halle Institute for Global Learning. And once you complete your degree, Goizueta's global alumni community provides a lifelong connection for learning, networking and career building.
Let me personally invite you to explore the Goizueta EMBA experience.
