Careers

High-octane colleagues.

Who you surround yourself with matters. Emory's EMBA brings together a group of talented, successful, mid-level to senior executives and professionals so you learn together side-by-side in a collaborative learning environment.

This means you’re surrounded by experienced individuals who thrive on personal accountability and outstanding results. Your classmates have achieved success across a myriad of industries, businesses, and functions around the world, providing an expansive mindset that boosts your in-person learning, not to mention your professional and leadership development.

Your experience is further enhanced by accomplished faculty skilled at drawing out the best and most diverse perspectives in the room. Through robust dialogue in a collaborative and supportive environment, you will find a great home for your learning — and your unique ideas — to be amplified.

See the world differently. Your EMBA class includes students who have lived and worked abroad or currently do so. The global cultural and business knowledge that these students add to their classmates' experience cannot be overstated.

Through the Global Business Practices immersion, students will learn about business culture in different parts of the world and how businesses interact with the U.S. in order to judge the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

In this interconnected world, successful leaders understand international business. Our students grasp that reality, not just by learning from the diverse student makeup and course studies, but also through case studies and classroom discussions. At Goizueta Business School, you gain international, real-world experience inside and outside the classroom through international modules that explore current topics within the context of international settings such as Brazil, Argentina, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, and Vietnam.

No matter where you are from or where you want to go, this global focus presents a welcoming, diverse, and international experience that shows you how to learn, live and lead in a global world.
