The Executive MBA Program
Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics at Mercer University has developed a newly integrated format for its Executive Master of Business Administration program, designed to equip students with the knowledge necessary to become effective leaders in today’s corporate world.
The 16-month program has classes on Friday and Saturday every two weeks, allowing even the busiest managers the opportunity to earn this prestigious advanced degree. Four retreats provide a concentrated study on specific business topics including a 10-day international residency where students are immersed in a different culture while studying with top executives of companies successfully competing in the global market.
Academic Learning Environment
Classes will be team-taught by the School's highly qualified faculty, who bring scholarly research, prestigious teaching credentials and extensive business experience to the classroom. Students will learn through lectures, discussions, presentations, team projects, research and computer simulations. Throughout the program, students will learn from visiting business leaders. These executives will bring their insights and wisdom to the classroom as they talk about their companies and how they address the demands of competition in today's marketplace.
Networking Opportunities
Students will become a member of The Executive Forum, Georgia's premier business-enrichment program offered by Mercer University for the past 28 years. This annual leadership series brings to Atlanta and Macon some of the nation's most sought-after speakers while providing an opportunity to business leaders to interact and network with each other.
