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