The degree and its successful alums speaks for itself. The Cox School Executive MBA is top-ranked, has incredible post-graduation promotion rates, and offers value-adds throughout the entirety of the program.
We think it is important to highlight that, though the program is part-time to meet the schedule of an executive, it offers full-time value. Mixers, networking opportunities, seminars, global and domestic trips, and leadership speaker series all contribute to the value of the program. Make no mistake, the Executive MBA is made for executives, but it offers full-time perks.
