Introduction
Why UConn's Executive MBA Program? Accrediting agencies and comparative college reviews recognize the quality and value of UConnโs MBA programs worldwide. The program has been fully and continuously accredited since 1958 by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The University of Connecticut is consistently ranked the #1 public institution in New England by U.S. News & World Report, and the UConn School of Business ranks among the โBest B-Schoolsโ in the nation according to Business Week. The School of Business is also recognized as a โTop Business School for 2004โ according to The Wall Street Journal and the MBA program ranks among the nationโs top MBA programs for โReturn on Investmentโ according to Forbes.
UConnโs Executive MBA Program is designed to enhance existing skills - and develop new ones - for experienced managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs. This is accomplished through a selective admissions process that brings together a broad group of highly qualified and motivated participants with significant management experience. An intensive, challenging curriculum, under the guidance of an experienced and dedicated faculty, stresses the analytical, organizational, communication, and behavioral skills necessary to be successful in diverse management situations.
The Executive MBA is a 48-credit program. The program begins with an In-Residence Week, held at UConn's main campus in Storrs, during which students get acquainted with the program, faculty, group-mates, and prepare for their upcoming projects. After In-Residence Week, classes meet every other weekend from September to June. The International Study Trip usually takes place in the second week of June when students travel to a foreign country, studying foreign business practices, management styles and norms, operations and the culture. The trip lasts about one week. During the summer students work on their Executive Management Projects which incorporates their experience from the trip with the knowledge and skills gained from the first half of the program. The normal class schedule resumes in August and the program ends in April with a commencement ceremony.
