The Anderson EMBA

At this point in your career, you have solid work experience under your belt. You’ve earned your undergraduate degree, perhaps more. You’ve developed expertise in your field, and your career is moving forward. But, given the increasingly competitive marketplace, your professional life may demand something greater.

The Executive MBA program has been designed for business professionals like you. It is an intensive, two-year course of study which covers the same business fundamentals as a full time program, but adds several elements created specifically for people farther along in their careers: extended focus on the practical application of management theories, a higher-level leadership and executive management module, and an integrated perspective of the global nature of business today. An Executive MBA program also places heavy emphasis on developing each student’s personal and professional networks.

The EMBA program features:

• Convenient every-other-weekend format –classes are held on Friday afternoons from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every other weekend.
• A stimulating and relevant curriculum – the EMBA curriculum provides accomplished and experienced businesspeople with the business tools, theories, and wisdom they need to augment their existing expertise.
• Talented Ph.D.-level faculty – prominent professors teach you cutting-edge theories, and then help you explore how to practically apply those theories.
• Executive service – the EMBA program respects your valuable time by taking care of all of the bureaucracy: we register you for classes, buy your textbooks, provide you lunch before each class Friday and breakfast each class Saturday (along with a full setup of snacks and drinks during all classes.
• A strong network – students form deep relationships with their classmates as they work closely with each other over the entire course of the two-year program. We also host networking lunches or breakfasts before every single class.
• Flexibility – the program (and its professors) understand the demands placed on busy, full-time businesspeople and work hard to accommodate the needs of our students. The program’s team-based structure also cultivates support and assistance among our students themselves.
• A Global Perspective – EMBA classes emphasize the global interconnectedness of modern-day business, culminating in a weeklong residency in a foreign country.

In the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, you will learn theory and best practices from both our faculty and your classmates. You'll have the opportunity to analyze those practices in other businesses and then apply them to your own organization. You'll share successes, challenges, insights and experiences with your professional peers. In short, you will benefit from the best that the UNM Anderson School of Management has to offer.
By participating in this unique educational experience, you can accelerate your career, achieve greater potential and expand your professional opportunities.

Our next set of Information Sessions will resume in fall 2011. At the sessions, you will learn more about how the program will benefit you.
