Executive MBA: Eligibility vs Benefits

An Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) is just like a degree programme similar to a Master of Business Administration (MBA), but in a shorter form. The curriculum almost replicates the full-time program but in a truncated form. Corporate executives and junior & mid-level working executives and those looking for opportunities to grow in the organizations will be looking to the EMBA programs. Executive MBA students are typically Junior & Mid-level professionals, who have extensive work and those who cannot afford to do the full-time program enroll for this program. Usually, an Executive MBA candidate continues to work full-time while pursuing their degree.

The eligibility for an Executive MBA programme to thrive requires a lot of professional experience and business understanding. Getting an EMBA entails taking classes, tutorials, and workshops in the evenings, online, and on weekends. The primary motivators for executives to enroll in this programme are intensive modular courses to reinforce competence and fill knowledge gaps. They take core finance and accounting, operations management, strategic management, marketing, human resources, other disciplines, and electives in other fields.
