Executive Development MBA

Ranging from day-long seminars to two to three week certificate programs, the executive development program is not a MBA degree program. The executive development program typically covers only one topic at a time and could consist of a number of sessions.

The executive development program is lacking the “total immersion” experience that you would obtain in a classroom setting. In addition, the executive development program does not provide you with the management foundation and academic coursework or curriculum that is fundamental to a traditional MBA degree.

Advantages of an Executive Development MBA

The executive development program can be a good option for people wishing to further their existing knowledge and advance the career they have already chosen, including those people who already have an MBA. The executive development program offers advantages like:

  • Helping to improve or broaden existing skills.
  • Maintaining professional licensure.
  • Providing experienced managers with better knowledge or more exposure to the most recent developments in their industry or profession.
  • Providing additional training on a certain subject, or "refresher" courses for people who may be taking on more responsibilities or a higher position in the workforce.
  • Students can improve their skill set without undergoing a heavy time commitment.
  • Open enrollment, rather than formal application and admission is generally the rule.
  • Students can choose from specific areas that interest them and be taught by industry professionals or school faculty.
  • Most programs offer significant flexibility in both scheduling and location.
  • Short class duration equals reduced time commitment.
