Introduction
Designed to develop the complete executive, the new EMBA program at the John Molson School of Business (JMSB) offers an exciting, innovative and unique educational and professional experience. The program positions students to take on the challenges of today’s rapidly changing business environment by providing them with a thorough understanding of fundamental business functions, a skill-set to consider global management issues, a framework to analyse and creatively resolve business problems and opportunities, an ability to understand and apply ethical and sustainability principles and a practiced capacity to be an effective leader.
Building on a successful academic tradition (The Economist recently ranked the John Molson EMBA second among solely Canadian EMBA programs), this program leverages Concordia’s highly-regarded expertise in applied human sciences, world-renowned faculty and state-of-the-art research facility designed to promote healthy living to create a program which helps executives be mentally and physically at the top of their game.
The John Molson EMBA Difference
- International experience
- Nutrition and physical fitness
- Personalized coaching = Integrated approach = Long-term networking program
The EMBA class schedule is designed to enable candidates to earn their degree while continuing to work full-time. Classes are held one day per week, on alternate Fridays and Saturdays, thereby minimizing time spent away from the workplace and away from home. This enables students to be introduced to an idea or practice in class on a Friday or Saturday, begin applying it on Monday and then share their experience with their classmates a few short days later.
The four-semester program is completed over a 20-month period (owing to breaks between semesters, actual classroom time occurs in only 15 of those months). Our seven-day international study trip takes place in May, at the end of the second semester.
Our students undertake their EMBA studies as part of a cohort – a group which progresses through the program together. The resulting team dynamic not only helps students develop their interpersonal skills and group decision-making abilities, but also creates a network of international, high-achieving professionals that extends far beyond graduation.
