Robinson's EMBA program is an accelerated program designed to propel high-potential professionals to the next state of their career. Typically, candidates are mid- to upper-level managers or entrepreneurs who have extensive experience in their field of expertise but are seeking to broaden their business knowledge base.

The EMBA program is a "co-hort" program, which means the class you start with is the one you stay with the entire 16 months. This format allows us to create a seamless learning environment so that all of the components--curriculum, class schedule, collaborative studies and networking--work together within a well-orchestrated learning cycle. EMBA students have the advantage of building strong personal and professional bonds with their classmates that last a lifetime.

THE GLOBAL IMPACT
Two-week business residency
Today, how business is conducted in China can affect how it's conducted in Atlanta. Robinson's EMBA program fully embraces the need to focus on global markets. International theories and practices are "baked-into" every course. Plus, you'll interact regularly with your classmates -- many of whom are already conducting international business and thus bring a global perspective to class studies.

At the end of the second semester, each class team will study one company in a key international market, prepare a business analysis of that company and travel abroad for a presentation by company executives. This two-week business residency immerses you in the culture, business climate and business practices of international trade. Past tours have traveled to Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Argentina, Spain, Belgium, Czech Republic, Greece, the Netherlands, Iceland and India.

EFFECTIVE LEADERS = EFFECTIVE MANAGERS
Leadership program
From orientation to graduation, leadership is a central theme within the program. You'll enhance your leadership skills through self-assessment, personal coaching and problem-solving exercises in class.

Executive Leadership Forum
You'll also learn from some of the most respected leaders in business today at the executive leadership forums organized exclusively for our EMBA students and alums. EMBA students have the unique opportunity to learn how business leaders operate, what they value and what they've learned along the way. Past guests have included Jim Owens, chairman and chief executive officer, Caterpillar; Jerry S. Wilson, president, Global McDonalds Division, The Coca-Cola Company, and author of Managing Brand YOU; Richard Burke, founding chief executive officer, United Healthcare; Steve Koonin, president, Turner Entertainment Network; Richard Galanti, chief financial officer, CostCo Wholesale; and many more.
