You will begin your EMBA experience with Boot Camp, a series of refresher modules in Microsoft Excel and statistics that prepare incoming Executive Program students for their graduate business education.

For students without a business education or background, Boot Camp establishes core business fundamentals. Boot Camp can also be a valuable asset to students with a formal business background by helping refresh concepts you’ve previously learned.

Boot Camp is an excellent opportunity to reactivate your classroom learning skills and propel you into the full Executive Program experience.

Boot Camp participation is optional and registration is limited; registration will be offered to new students based on date of enrollment confirmation, as space allows.

The program’s Academic Director (AD) works closely with faculty on the design and content of each course to ensure it best meets the program’s goals and standards. The AD also ensures that each course is well coordinated relative to others in the program so that your overall learning experience is as strong as possible.
