Executive MBA

Benefits for Students

Would you like to earn an MBA without losing career momentum?  The Executive MBA programs at Tulane--offered in five locations around the globe--bring you the degree you need from a university highly regarded for its faculty, curriculum, reputation and recognition worldwide.

• New Orleans and in Houston, you can earn your MBA degree in as little as 19 months by attending Executive MBA program classes on alternate weekends and two weeklong sessions.
• Our Option II program in Houston offers a 23-month, alternate weekend MBA program for young professionals who cannot afford to miss work on Fridays.
• Our 13-month Asia EMBA program takes advantage of executive programs completed in Asia and augments those with selected courses taught by Freeman faculty in Shanghai Taipei and in New Orleans
• The Chile MBA for the Americas program is a 22-month, joint project between Universidad de Chile and Tulane University's Freeman School, and offers MBA degrees from both universities.

All programs include an international seminar.  The formats are intense, yet manageable, allowing time for classes, study, team meetings, work, travel, and family.

The Freeman faculty members who teach in our EMBA programs are among the best in the business. Many have taught in EMBA classrooms and worked as consultants around the globe.  Using case studies, critical business research, and their unique practices and experiences, faculty members bring knowledge of current business trends and breakthroughs into the classroom. The result: real-time exposure to those strategic practices currently employed, all within a global framework.

Tulane's EMBA rosters are filled with professionals from all cultures, backgrounds, and walks of life. You work with and learn from entrepreneurs, physicians, lawyers, engineers, CEOs, CFOs, and presidents, all of whom bring divergent viewpoints and experiences to the classroom. Study teams are created to take advantage of these diverse skill sets.  As students are exposed to new business concepts, this diversity adds new dimensions to the team experience.

Team building is an essential component of Tulane's EMBA programs. Study teams of five to six people are formed to draw on the diverse academic and professional backgrounds of your class peers. The synergy that comes from working with such a rich mix of talented individuals invigorates and enhances every classroom lecture and team assignment.

When you graduate from any of Tulane's EMBA programs, you take with you a network of lifelong friends and professional colleagues. Bound by mutual respect and a common will to succeed, this cadre of professional leaders will become personal friends you can count on wherever your career takes you. Across all of its programs, the Freeman School boasts an extensive alumni base that now totals more than 12,000 graduates. As a fellow Freeman graduate, these valuable resources will be available to you throughout your lifetime.

No matter your background or future career goals, your Tulane EMBA degree will open doors within and beyond your profession, and will enable you to respond confidently to new business opportunities and challenges.
