The Curriculum:
A Transformative Experience
The Executive MBA curriculum will help you develop new skills, change how you think about business problems, transform your leadership style and open up career opportunities. It includes six key elements:
-
Practical classes that stress not just business knowledge but business know-how, the ability to put knowledge into practice with favorable results.
-
Workshops conducted by UT Dallas' Centers of Excellence using experiential learning methods.
-
A field project in a company, perhaps your own, plus a student-determined activity that will enhance your career opportunities.
-
Working with your own executive coach in appropriate developmental areas.
-
An international trip to Europe, Asia or Latin America.
-
A capstone business game you will play as part of a student team in order to gain mastery of the executive perspective.
These six elements are grouped into two curricula: The Critical Skills Curriculum and The Successful Executive Curriculum. You will take courses and have experiences in each curriculum every semester.
