The rigorous Executive MBA curriculum is customized to address the needs of high-potential leaders and executives. EMBA coursework is designed around real issues and solutions rather than just functional areas, and many of our students report they leave the classroom and immediately apply concepts and tools on the job. Meanwhile, Ross students often bring current business challenges into the classroom for discussion. Key program topics include analytical tools of business leadership, organizational excellence, the strategist's perspective, and personal leadership development.

Before Classes Begin

The Quantitative Skills Workshop (QSW) is offered for those participants whose analytical skills need refreshing. A series of lectures on CD is mailed to admitted participants in the months before beginning the EMBA Program. These lectures review many of the basic quantitative skills needed for the program, along with solved problems and exercises. At the beginning of the orientation residency, participants have the opportunity to attend a one-day QSW program, which covers more advanced material. A second optional QSW session is held later in the first semester.
