Description of Learning Environment for Students
From the first day, the Marquette Executive MBA program stresses the importance and value of teamwork. Participants are placed in study teams of four to six members, grouped to provide a wide range of talents on each team.
Because of this, you will not be learning on your own — but as part of a study team that provides support and assists in your MBA education. Each member brings a unique perspective to the team and gains an appreciation of the diversity of teams and the value and complexity of teamwork. You will find these professional relationships and friendships last well beyond the length of the program.
Our EMBA schedule is designed to give working professionals maximum flexibility to advance their business knowledge without interrupting their business lives. About 40% of the EMBA program is delivered in a blended format. Students can learn when and where it is convenient for them. The remaining 60% is completed in class with lively case discussions and active learning from the faculty and each other.
The EMBA program launches with an immersion week (7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday) at Marquette and continues with class meetings on the Milwaukee, WI campus every other Saturday. The international trip is the second period of in-residence and lasts 10-12 days. This takes place during the spring or summer term. The final semester begins with the third period of residency. We begin the final fall term with a mini-immersion week at the Milwaukee campus. EMBA students are in class Thursday through Saturday. They return to the every-other-Saturday schedule and graduate in December. The EMBA program lasts 17 months.
