University of Tennessee Executive MBA

Key Differentiators-What Sets the UT EMBA Apart:

High-Compression Learning: UT’s fully accredited, internationally ranked EMBA program takes only one year.
Begin in January, graduate in December, and spend less time away from work and home than you would in any other Executive MBA program.

The streamlined combination of residencies and Internet-based learning makes UT’s EMBA program one that you can attend no matter where you live or where your business takes you.

Integrated Curriculum: The program addresses real-world problems from multiple perspectives.
Rather than a course in accounting followed by a separate course in management, UT’s holistic EMBA program integrates all business disciplines by focusing them on a common business challenge--yours.

Applied Learning: Assignments are tied directly to your organization and industry.
Your "homework" is to design and execute strategic initiatives to move your organization forward. Thus, you and your organization enjoy an immediate return on your investment.

When looking back at what my Executive MBA at The University of Tennessee meant to me, there are several areas which stood out and "made a difference.”

The one which had the greatest impact on my business perspective was our trip to Europe and the understanding I gained of foreign cultures and business practices. I had traveled extensively to Europe on business prior to attending The University of Tennessee, but the visits and very open discussions with different European corporate managers, entrepreneurs, and business school students gave me a much stronger insight as to how to conduct business there.

Another facet of the program that I found to be outstanding was the two-way learning which occurred. Not only was I challenged by the professors who were very aware of the latest developments in the business world, but I also learned from my fellow classmates who had helped create leading-edge technology and practices in their own respective companies. Perspectives from other industries or professions helped me to "think outside of the box" on many issues facing my industry.
