During a time when the economy doesn't seem to be getting much better, is it really a good idea to spend the money it costs to join an EMBA program?

When you think about it,Is a Dallas EMBA worth the money to attend? Articles making a large purchase (averaging just under 100,000) is not something anyone is very excited about. Most people in professional work settings are busying worrying about their current jobs and paying their own bills and managing their income already. The last thing they need to do it spend a large amount of money that'll in turn take away a large portion of their free time for about 20 months, right?

Well, not necessarily. Say this money is used for a graduate degree that is specifically designed for business professionals that already have ample work experience in their field. Rather than take two years off of work and putting that career on hold to pursue a graduate degree such as the MBA (which up to 40% of CEOs carry), experienced professionals should look to obtain an EMBA degree from any of the popular Dallas universities.

For the most part, the executive MBA, or the Executive healthcare program (which is the EMBA for those in the medical field), isn't far off from what a regular MBA is. However, there are key differences that make the EMBA an ideal choice for many. First, the EMBA requires that its students have ample experience already in the business world, with experience starting at at least 5 to 7 years.

This is much different than the MBA, which is full of students who often come straight from their undergraduate degree with not work experience. This doesn't mean the degree is a bad choice, but the degree however will allow the like minded to be molded considering where they start at. The EMBA, therefore, is full of similarly like minded people who have experience, but are not necessarily executives (few are), so they may start further in their education.

Dallas EMBA students can apply what they learn in their classes immediately to their worklife since the EMBA program requires you to essentially keep your already full time job. Not only will the professor help, but other professionals in the class will be able to help as well and give advice, tips, and solutions on what has worked for them at their company and what hasn't worked.

The focus on the classes are more in-depth but still are used to study the same principles between the Executive MBA and the MBA. Think economics and finance courses.
