WiWi-News Detail

Executive MBA-Programme (EMBA) wurden vor 40 Jahren zum ersten Mal an der University of Chicago angeboten. Heute bieten ca. 200 Universitäten weltweit solche Programme an. Auch in Deutschland sind zunehmend solche Angebote an Universitäten geplant.

Beim Executive-MBA (MBA = Master of Business Administration) handelt sich um eine Form von Teilzeitprogramm. Die Programme werden vorwiegend an Freitagen und am Wochenende durchgeführt. Im Unterschied zum regulären Teilzeitstudium richtet sich dieses Programm an leistungsstarke Personen im Alter von 35 bis 45 Jahren mit langer, oft über 10 jähriger Berufserfahrung, die im mittleren oder oberen Management arbeiten. In den USA haben Teilnehmer an EMBA-Programmen in der Regel 14 Jahre Berufserfahrung. In Deutschland sind fünf bis 10 Jahre Berufserfahrung eher üblich.

"Who participates in Executive MBA programs? A very diverse group of professionals enter and complete EMBA programs. What they share is a sincere desire to grow professionally by obtaining an MBA degree and a willingness and ability to meet program time and course requirements. A number of factors are considered in selecting candidates for an EMBA program. In most cases, each applicant is evaluated on his or her professional performance, academic records, GMAT scores, professional recommendations, and a demonstrated ability to accomplish graduate-level business coursework. Most EMBA students enter a program with ten or more years of professional and/or managerial experience. An undergraduate degree is generally required, though it need not be a degree in business. Evaluation of students for admission to an EMBA program is a very individualized process. While test scores, grade point averages, and other objective criteria are all considered, a prospective student's background, work experience, career goals, desire to succeed, and numerous other factors are considered in making an admission decision."

Normalerweise hat das EMBA-Programm die gleichen Inhalte wie die gewöhnlichen MBA-Programme. Executive-Programme sind so gestaltet, dass die Teilnehmer Beruf und Masterstudium verbinden können.

"What is different about an Executive MBA program curriculum? Courses offered in an EMBA program are normally the same as those taught in traditional MBA programs-accounting, finance, statistics, management, marketing, and information systems. However, EMBA courses are enhanced by the extensive professional experience of the participants and are uniquely structured to teach a maximum amount of course material in an accelerated timetable. In addition, senior faculty experienced in teaching and consulting are employed as principal instructors. Once all coursework is satisfactorily completed, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree or its equivalent is awarded." Quelle: Executive MBA-Council
