The Executive MBA Curriculum
The Executive MBA curriculum employs a modular structure with the focus shifting from analysis and evaluation in Year One to strategic application and execution in Year Two. The 21-month, 58-credit-hour program is presented in four modules and an interim summer session between Years One and Two. The learning process is accomplished through three levels of integration.
Knowledge Content: To enhance relevance of core business concepts to the workplace, knowledge content (finance, accounting, economics, statistics, marketing, leadership, performance management, and strategy) is presented by instructors with significant real-world experience in theme-based modules that closely approximate their application in real-world situations.
Managerial Competencies: Core managerial competencies (problem solving and decision making, communicating and interpersonal relations) are used to integrate and enhance the application of knowledge, experience, and learned concepts into the workplace.
Integrated Learning Environment: Relevance and enhanced retention are enabled through action-based assignments, illustrative real-world cases studies, integrated skill application projects, and on-scene domestic and international field trips.
The major components of the program are the Classroom Experience, Skills Application Projects, and off-campus Learning Experiences.
Classroom Experience
Classroom sessions are comprised of presentations by highly-qualified faculty and business leaders. Learning is facilitated through interaction between participants and faculty, exercises approximating real management issues, case studies, and exploring management concepts found in readings and text materials. Individual skill development is stressed, with the aim of equipping executives with strategies they can use to improve their own decision-making and leadership capabilities.
Skill Application Projects
Skill application projects provide important experiential learning by "forcing" the use of business concepts learned in the classroom to solve real business problems. Each module or major curriculum focus uses a team project to facilitate the transference of knowledge into practical application. Projects are real business issues faced every day, such as a merger or acquisition, ethical decisions, opening new markets, major reorganization, or a functional business problem. Web-based group interaction and e-mail are used to facilitate completion of group assignments.
Learning Experiences
Learning experiences provide unique educational opportunities that augment classroom instruction. These are fully integrated into the curriculum and also provide experiential learning in the actual practice of management.
- Executive Leadership Retreat
You begin the Executive MBA program with a four-day residential retreat where we help you set learning goals, form study teams, and engage in a variety of workshops and team-building exercises. We also include a workshop for our students and their spouses/significant others addressing the importance of achieving balance between family, work, and school.
- Business Research Skills and Field Research Project
Between the first and second year, you will learn business research skills and conduct an in-depth study of an actual business’s sectors and specific companies within it. You will learn how to apply concepts learned in the classroom to actual business situations, and your recommendations and solutions will carry real consequences.
- Industry/Government Sector Study
Between the first and second year, we visit a domestic government and/or business center for one week where you gain first-hand exposure to the forces and personalities that shape policies and decisions. You will learn how businesses are currently adapting their operations to successfully compete in today’s marketplace. Recent visits have included Sacramento, CA, and the nearby wine industry, and Washington, D.C.
- International Trip
In Year Two, you will take a two-week journey to one or more major, non- U.S. business centers that will broaden your understanding of what it takes to manage in today’s global business environment. In recent years, we have traveled to South America, China, India, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Our students regularly cite the visit as a highlight of the program.
