The EMBA, commonly referred to as the Executive MBA, is designed specifically to enhance the careers of both working professionals, executives and managers . The EMBA is usually geared towards professionals who are looking to update the management skills and prepare themselves for career
opportunities.
What really sets the executive MBA apart from many other MBA programs is the level of experience and insights that students bring to the program. In most EMBA programs students' professional experience and expertise becomes an integral part of the curriculum. The EMBA is typically completed during the evenings or on weekends over a two year period. The EMBA truly offers a level of education not obtained in any other setting.

by residential attendance at the business school, perhaps for one week every month or few
months.
