What they are saying about the EMBA
"The VT EMBA program is a fast track program for fast tracked business professionals. I travel a great deal and the demands on my professional life are significant. However, the VT EMBA offers me the convenience of Northern Virginia facilities while leveraging main campus professors." "Our professors treat us as customers not just MBA students." "The VT EMBA program provides exposure to new business research and methodologies while accommodating my most significant learning interests by accepting my inputs on areas for tailored class exploration." "The VT EMBA curriculum, program plan, and study group orientation is facilitated though a collaborative work environment by utilizing the most advanced computing technology available such as the Apple iBook, iSight, iPod audio–books, video and other Podcasting technologies." "Although I have 30–years of business experience, the VT EMBA program has updated and broadened my business acumen and provided a unique experience to test and refine my own personal and professional capabilities. For instance, our exposure to the latest business theories as espoused by Clayton Christiansen's "Disruptive technologies", or being exposed to speakers such as the US Commerce Department Attache for China and Pacific Rim Commerce, and the Project Management Institute's PMP certification program have given me very useful tools for my continuing educational experience." "The VT EMBA has given me tools learned on a Saturday that I may implement on Monday morning in the work place."
"I chose the EMBA Program at Virginia Tech in large part because of the emphasis placed on information technology – as both course subject and as an element of program administration. Dr. Jacobina has developed a curriculum that provides invaluable exposure to technologies and trends easily applied to today's businesses. That technology is supplemented with a package of computer devices that enhance the learning experience and make this program one of the best."
"VT's EMBA program is well designed and provides interaction with executives from various diverse industries. The timing of classes (Friday afternoon and Saturday) certainly allows for a greater balance between the work–life, the home–life and the MBA–life. The course content is very comprehensive and is at par with the top–5 management programs. The International visit to other countries provides the knowledge on how to work in the global economy." "During the program the interaction between the members of the cohort and other cohorts provides a well lasting relationship. Everybody is more than willing to provide help and guidance in the career development of each other." "For me, VT EMBA program provided a platform to interact with executives with diverse cultural background, and allowed to build a strong bond with them." "I strongly recommend the VT EMBA program, if you want a quality education and training while not comprising any aspect of your work–home–MBA life. Certainly, there are times when its tough to carry on the course, but the support from your classmates, Professors and the Executive MBA officers will make you pass the rough times with ease and lead to success." "You will not even realize how fast 18 months will pass by and you will have an enormous amount of knowledge tools that will help you succeed in your career and life." |
