Executive MBA Program

The University of Florida Executive Program is designed for seasoned business executives who wish to continue working full time while pursuing their MBA.

Students in the Executive Program should have at least eight years of professional work experience and significant people or project management responsibilities in their current positions. Because students are relatively advanced in their careers, topics for classroom discussion tend to be approached from a more strategic viewpoint.


Learning Environment

Students in the Executive Program meet for an extended weekend (Friday-Sunday) once a month on the University of Florida campus. The 20-month program is divided into five four-month terms and has a one week international trip. Most terms consist of three business courses plus one Professional Development course. The Professional Development courses are designed to focus on skills needed for managerial success that are not normally covered in the classroom, such as effective written and oral presentation skills. The curriculum exposes students to the primary functional areas in business and allows for further breadth through specified advanced-level courses. The curriculum has been carefully designed to maximize the MBA educational experience while minimizing the amount of time executives must be away from work.
