Who typically attends and EMBA program?

The EMBA works to broaden their base of knowledge so they can more easily and effectively step into senior-held and leadership positions. This means that EMBA is not for students who just completed their Bachelor’s degree or have only been working in their field of choice for a few years. Those students seeking a higher education business degree are encouraged to apply for an MBA.

The EMBA is not for professionals that are looking to career switch or are currently unemployed. The EMBA is for current, full time professionals, and it is certainly not required for these professionals to currently hold executive positions. Individuals that are looking for that career switch or are currently unemployed would benefit much more from seeking out an MBA. As you can see, the students who are in the EMBA program are a very particular kind of student that fits specific criteria. This is because the EMBA is designed to address very specific issues and knowledge that is only gained from real life, full time, long term experience.

How about some numbers? Statistically, the average EMBA student is 35~ years old with 13~ years of experience in their field. On average, after being granted graduation, the salary of the student rises 20~ percent.

One of the greatest benefits of the EMBA program, is how after graduation, it prepares the student for a smooth transition in business positions. It prepares the professional to gain that job experience for the job they technically do not even have yet. It makes them not only an attractive candidate, but mentally and professionally prepared for the leadership position. Another benefit is the other students in the classroom. These like-minded individuals spend ample time together during class and on trips. They build strong relationships and networks, which many EMBA holders claim stay with them for years after.
