Executive MBA

Master of Business Administration

The executive master of business administration (EMBA) program is for experienced, mid to upper level managers and professionals seeking the confidence and ability to drive a business strategically at the senior management level with the most current and innovative management practices. 

The EMBA utilizes a cohort model where students complete courses in the same sequence, and student interaction and co-operation are emphasized. Study groups and project teams are an important aspect of the learning experience. Program options include EMBA, the EMBA Americas Stream, the Indigenous Business and Leadership Cohort, and occasionally Community Cohorts.

EMBA Americas Stream 

Students may choose to apply to the EMBA Americas stream for their second year in the EMBA program. Students completing all EMBA Americas stream requirements receive a Graduate Certificate in Business in the Americas in addition to the MBA degree. EMBA Americas stream classes are taught as intensive sessions in partnership with three other institutions at their campuses: Owen Graduate School, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA; ITAM, Mexico City, Mexico; FIA, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and one intensive session at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV. Courses in the EMBA Americas stream provide a greater emphasis on international management, and a capstone applied project is required. Students will also participate in company visits and workshops on local cultural and business practices in each of the four participating countries. 

EMBA in Indigenous Business and Leadership

The EMBA in Indigenous Business and Leadership (IBL) provides the EMBA cohort experience for Indigenous community leaders, those working in Indigenous businesses or economic development corporations, or working in organizations with significant involvement with First Nations communities. Students remain with the same cohort throughout their EMBA studies. Course delivery will be customized to accommodate the more diverse regional nature of the participants.

Community Cohorts

The EMBA may also be offered as a regional cohort program situated in communities throughout Canada. Community cohorts follow the EMBA requirements while utilizing customized programming and delivery depending on regional needs. Courses from other ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV graduate business programs, or special topic courses, may be substituted at the discretion of the academic director. The location and theme of a community cohort will vary, and remains at the discretion of the academic director. Classes are normally scheduled in intensive formats at the program location.

Applicants should also refer to the program website located at .

¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Requirements

Applicants must satisfy the University admission requirements as stated in Graduate General Regulations 1.3 in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Calendar. ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV into this program is competitive; meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Applicants must have an undergraduate degree with a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and a minimum of ten years of business experience. Exceptional managers (as determined by career progression and responsibilities relative to EMBA peer group) who have a CGPA lower than a 3.0/4.33 (B) in their undergraduate degree, or lack a formal degree or professional designation, but have other outstanding qualifications may be admitted into the program. Applicants will also be assessed on volunteer and/or community experience, other achievements, and letters of reference. Only shortlisted candidates will be interviewed.
