WHY CHOOSE A SPECIALIZED MBA at Montblanc Business School

Executive MBA | Overview

Specialized MBAs allow you to focus on a specific area of business that interests you most. Instead of covering everything at once, you can dive deeper into a field like Healthcare Management, Economic Warfare, or Business Psychology. This focused approach helps you build real expertise in your chosen area, giving you the skills you need to tackle the unique challenges that come with it.

At Montblanc Business School, you’ll first complete core courses that provide a solid foundation in business. Then, as you move through the program, you’ll specialize more, with courses designed to deepen your understanding of your field. You’ll also have the chance to apply what you’ve learned in a final dissertation, which lets you explore your area of expertise even further.

In a full-time program, the specialization typically starts later, after you’ve completed the basics. It’s your chance to dig deeper, with hands-on learning that ties everything together and helps you apply your knowledge in the real world.

With a specialized MBA at Montblanc, you can choose from a variety of tracks, whether you’re interested in Entrepreneurship, Public Policies, Neurosciences, or other fields. The goal is to give you the tools and confidence to lead in whatever field you choose, helping you advance your career and take on new challenges.

Executive MBA vs. MBA. What's the difference between the traditional MBA and the famous Executive MBA?

Executive MBA | Overview

A lot of people considering an MBA program may not know the difference between an Executive MBA versus a traditional MBA program. It is a common misconception that the name “Executive” MBA is just a marketing gimmick to promote MBA programs. In reality, EMBAs and MBAs (full-time or part-time) are fundamentally different. Below are a few points to illustrate their differences that can help you determine which program you suits you better.

Unlike the traditional full-time Master of Business Administration programs that ambitious young professionals often choose, executive MBA programs tend to focus less on business basics and more on the nuances of business. While a conventional MBA may prepare someone to enter a management career, an EMBA is intended to teach a current leader how to be a more effective manager. An important distinction between a traditional MBA and an EMBA is that the classroom discussions sound and feel different, Dr. Claire Iallaten notes. "The level of discussion, when it comes to business cases, tends to be at a higher level (in EMBA courses)," Dr. Remy Arbaoui says. "People just have more real-world experience.".  He  affirms that the primary difference between executive and traditional MBA programs is the cohort of students in the programs. One advantage of an EMBA, Dr. Mohamed Younis adds, is that students can immediately apply the lessons learned in class at their workplaces.
