Our Executive MBA
Designed for busy executives and business leaders,UNM Anderson's Executive MBA focuses on developing today's strategic thinkers and global leaders.
The Executive MBA allows you to dive deep into the structure and practices of leading and building teams. The foundation of the Executive MBA experience is a cohort of accomplished professionals bringing perspectives from various industries. You'll work in small teams on projects throughout the program, building strong relationships while optimizing your strategic decision-making skills.
The Executive MBA features Saturday classes, wraparound services like registering you for classes and providing your required course materials, plus networking events, guest speakers, professional development coaching, alumni engagement and immersive experiences.
Hybrid-Flexible Format
We offer our Executive MBA classes in a hybrid-flexible format. This means classes are taught in person on scheduled Saturdays with a live online option. It's flexible, so you can choose to alternate between in-person and online sessions to fit your schedule.
Immersive Experiences
The first-term immersion experience orients you to the EMBA, guidess you through leadership assessments, and helps you build positive team dynamics.
For the final semester you'll select an international residency focused on global business practices or a domestic residency such as The Washington Campus with a focus on public affairs and public policy.
"The EMBA international residency program offered the experience of a lifetime. Interfacing with global business leaders has given me a more in-depth perspective regarding the unprecedented changes we're seeing in healthcare, here in the US and worldwide."
