Claremont University Executive MBA Program Structure

The Claremont University Executive MBA (EMBA) at Drucker Graduate School of Management is characterized by world-class faculty, global perspective, intimate class sizes, and flexible scheduling available at both the Claremont campus and in Downtown Los Angeles. EMBA classes are taught in cohorts designed to strengthen interpersonal relationships and sharpen business acumen. Students can take either seven-week courses or 14-week courses. Intensive courses, with a one-to-two week format are typically offered each semester; these courses are often offered abroad in the summer semester. Weekend courses that meet for two consecutive weekends are also available.

Curriculum

The Claremont University Executive MBA program provides students with a solid foundation of core courses in the traditional disciplines, while also allowing them to take almost two-thirds of their coursework as electives, so that they can tailor the experience to match their interests and goals.

The EMBA is a program comprised of 48 units of coursework, including 16 units of core courses, eight units of emphasis in Strategy or Leadership courses, and 24 units of electives. Core courses include: Financial Accounting; Corporate Finance; Marketing Management; Organizational Behavior; and Creating Effective Organizations.

Up to eight units of electives can be taken outside of the Executive Management Program, and any of the 14 elective courses may be used to fulfill requirements in Leadership or Strategy.

Claremont University Executive MBA students have several opportunities to study abroad in Prague, China, Costa Rica, or New Zealand during spring break (March). Offered as transdisciplinary courses, these courses allow students to partner with graduate students from other disciplines, such as psychology and political science, to develop an understanding of the political, economic, legal, and social dimensions of globalization as they impact strategy formulation and international trade.
