The Experience

The experience you will get out of your Executive MBA can differ quite a bit from program to program.

Consider whether you are looking for a program that does not require any travel or one that offers you the opportunity to develop a truly global outlook.

Another big part of your Executive MBA will be the people sitting next to you – they contribute to your learning experience as well as your network. Which student body is best for you? Would you thrive in a younger, more energetic group or in a more experienced, focused class?
