When you enroll in the EMBA program, you will join a select cohort of 30-35 experienced entrepreneurs, professionals and managers who aspire to roles of greater responsibility in their organizations, and know they need additional knowledge to get there. You will meet other mid-career managers from diverse organizations throughout San Diego and beyond. They will represent start-up firms, mid-sized businesses, large corporations, and non-profit and government entities. Their academic backgrounds will vary as well, with disciplines ranging from the liberal arts, engineering, science and business and everything in between, and many will have already acquired advanced degrees.

As an EMBA candidate, you will enjoy an unparalleled group learning experience. You will learn as much from each other as you do from the faculty - both during class sessions and in meetings with your study groups. The cohort experience provides camaraderie, continuity and mutual support throughout the program, and develops a rich network of professional ties and corporate contacts that will remain long after you graduate.

As a graduate of the MBA for Executives program, you will participate in a special EMBA commencement ceremony with your classmates at the conclusion of the program. This ceremony, over which SDSU's President and/ or Provost presides, celebrates the completion of two years of learning, hard work and camaraderie - the rewards and friendships are lifelong. Upon graduation, you will become a member of the Executive MBA alumni network of almost 500, and join the ranks of more than 125,000 SDSU graduates.

Our EMBA graduates serve as advisors to the program, and their insights are essential to our continuous improvement efforts. Alumni participate in a variety of activities and are valuable professional and personal resources for the participants during the program and after graduation. If you are interested in speaking to any of these individuals, just let us know and we will make necessary arrangements.
