Overview

The Business Administration - Online Executive program of Rochester Institute of Technology s a challenging and demanding program designed to accelerate the careers of mature, high-performance professionals with significant business experience, setting itself apart from traditional MBA programs which are geared primarily toward a less experienced audience. The online program covers the same rigorous curriculum as the on-campus EMBA.

This degree program is ideal for creative, innovative individuals who have established careers and are looking for proven and effective strategies to propel them further up the career ladder. You will master executive skills such as strategic and cross–functional thinking and leadership. You will learn from knowledgeable and professional instructors and also from your successful, motivated, diverse peer group. You will leave this program with a solid community of influential peers and a global alumni network to encourage and support your career.

The Online EMBA program is an AACSB accredited 17-month 4-semester program with two start dates each year. Students who start in late August will finish in December of the following year; students who start in January will finish in May of the following year.

All students must attend a 3-day on-campus orientation session prior to the start of classes and also must attend the international seminar, which is a 8-to-10 day business and cultural educational trip near the end of the program. All arrangements are made by RIT, and airfare and lodging are provided by the program

Plan of study

The curriculum focuses on core business concepts, providing fundamental skills, knowledge, and perspectives in accounting, statistics, leadership, finance, negotiations, and economics. The program develops skills in cross-functional analysis with an emphasis on strategy, marketing, technology, and international business. Interdisciplinary examples, case analyses, and an applied orientation are key components of the program. Students attend classes for 15 months on alternate weekends (all day Friday and Saturday). In addition, all students attend a three-day orientation at the start of the program and a seven-to-10-day international study trip in their last semester. There is one online course each semester.

The program reinforces practical experience through domestic and international client consulting projects; personal coaching in career development planning, communications, and team building; a competitive business simulation model; and the international study trip.
