Earn the Executive MBA in 10 learning modules and an international trip.

Program design makes the Terry Executive MBA different from any other executive MBA program. We divided the 18-month program into 10 learning modules delivered through weekend instruction, online learning technology, on-site residencies and an international trip.


Program Format Breakdown

Opening Residency: Leadership (Athens, GA)

This session focuses on organizational behavior and honing leadership. You will meet your distinguished peers with whom you will study for the next 18 months.

Seven 9-Week Modules: Core Business Knowledge (Atlanta, GA)

Seven 9-week modules focus on core business knowledge and its practical application. Courses will focus on two main areas:

  • Functional areas of the organization and appreciation of how marketing, finance, accounting, operations and other issues interact to determine organizational effectiveness.
  • Strategic thinking and recognizing the role of innovation, technology, systems, and people in creating and sustaining competitive advantage.

Each 9-week module includes:
