Executive MBA

Global Focus

Tulane's Freeman School of Business conducts Executive MBA programs worldwide. While our campuses in the United States, Latin America, and Asia are separated by distance, Executive MBA participants have opportunities to interact, whether sharing a classroom, working together on class projects, collaborating on international study teams, or networking at Tulane-sponsored events.

Our programs provide unique opportunities for executives to become more competent and confident global leaders. Many of our EMBA courses focus on the strategic and operational issues of doing business abroad; other courses routinely address global business issues as a matter of practice.

Created to give students firsthand knowledge of diverse business cultures and practices, the international seminars offer students opportunities for face-to-face interaction with international business leaders. Students attend faculty lectures and host-country company visits, and can actively apply the skills and knowledge acquired in the program to global business setting.

During the seminars, students will work in teams, solving real business problems currently faced by a company in the host city, and prepare written reports and oral presentations for the company's managers. One recent international seminar paired Tulane's EMBA students with a major industrial corporation in Paris that has operations in more than 90 countries around the globe and a workforce exceeding 120,000 people. Other international seminars have taken students to Brussels, Budapest, and Mexico City. Future planned destinations for New Orleans and Houston classes include Paris and Shanghai.

While at Tulane, you will learn from faculty who teach, consult, and conduct business research internationally. Many of our Freeman faculty members teach across Tulane's worldwide business programs and are able to enhance every EMBA course with global case studies and the knowledge they have gained from teaching executives around the world.

Your executive classmates, many of whom have lived and worked in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and other parts of the world, also bring their global experiences and perspectives to the EMBA classroom.
