Our EMBA faculty are selected for their knowledge and expertise, their research and consulting activities, and their ability to teach adult students about important business theories and real-world applications. They are typically full-time, senior members of the Anderson Graduate School and hold doctorates from highly regarded universities in the U.S. and abroad. They regularly review and update their course materials to reflect the latest thinking in their fields. And they strive to use a variety of teaching formats – including the case method, group projects, classroom discussion, guest lectures and peer teaching – to facilitate interaction among EMBA program participants. So you’ll also learn from your classmates – and benefit from their collective experience and expertise. This unique culture of collaboration and teamwork provides a powerful synergy you won’t find anywhere else.

Our faculty, drawn from the senior ranks of the Anderson Graduate School, weave together timeless and current business concepts with practical application to the workplace. The result is a challenging, sophisticated classroom environment that enables students to improve their job performance and move their careers forward. Here’s what some of them have to say about teaching in the EMBA Program:

“The EMBA Program fosters an environment of reciprocal learning, providing informal networking opportunities in addition to an academically rigorous curriculum. Students come away with improved communication, teamwork and analytical skills to add to their real-world experience.”
- Dr. Howard Smith; Strategic Management

“EMBA students represent many different industries, backgrounds and areas of expertise, but they are all ambitious and industrious. It’s exciting to see them master business concepts so quickly and to return to their respective organizations with newfound knowledge and confidence.”
- Dr. Alistair Preston; Managerial Accounting

“I’ve been teaching in the EMBA Program for nearly 10 years, and it is always a learning experience for me. It is satisfying to know that students are applying concepts discussed in class the following week. They report back what worked and what didn’t in their particular situation, making the learning quite experiential and relevant.”
- Dr. Jackie Hood; Organizational Behavior and Diversity

“Being in the EMBA Program is rewarding for faculty and students alike. When you bring together this caliber of professionals, the interaction and level of discussion goes far beyond that found in a normal classroom. It’s invigorating for me to be involved in such a dynamic learning environment – and to see our students progress in their careers.”
- Dr. George Hozier; Marketing Management
