Carey Business School Launches EMBA Program

The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, which launched its full-time MBA program just last year, will launch an 18-month Executive MBA program set to begin in May 2011.

Designed for senior-level professionals and managers who wish to continue in their jobs with minimal disruption of professional and personal lives, the program combines online distance learning with a series of 10 residencies to be held in Baltimore and abroad.

“The focus of the Executive MBA is on the big-picture concepts of leadership, particularly how a senior manager responds with resilience to the challenges of today’s dynamic business climate,” says Yash Gupta, dean of the Carey Business School.

“Above all, there’s the Johns Hopkins advantage: The program is led by faculty not just from the business school but also from other divisions of Johns Hopkins University.”

Gupta tells The JHU Gazette that the time was right to offer such a program. “As the economy recovers, businesses are looking at how to develop human capital,” Gupta says. “Businesses will want to offer placement in this type of program as an incentive for new hires or as a way to train and retain current employees.”

The small cohort of students—approximately 30-50 candidates—could be scattered across the globe, but they progress as a team, working on both group-based and individual projects. This shared experience helps students and faculty members build relationships that result in a tight-knit, long-lasting network of peers.

At the program’s completion, graduates are prepared to compete for top positions in a variety of industries, including finance, manufacturing, health care, and technology.

“It breaks the mold on executive MBA programs,” says Gupta. “Johns Hopkins will blaze a trail and offer something to a segment of the business population hungry for innovation. I’m very optimistic about the success of this program.”
