The learning model of UCLA Anderson's executive MBA program emphasizes mastery of the fundamentals of business, proficiency in analytical problem-solving skills, and the development of an explicit point of view on what it means to be a leader.
Classes meet two weekends per month for two years. During the first on-campus weekend, students are assigned to groups based on their functional area. During the second year, students participate in a six-month field study program called the Strategic Management Research (SMR) program where students are given a real-world opportunity to apply the tools they've learned.
Anderson's EMBA program also offers certification programs in entrepreneurship, international management, finance, marketing, and sustainability.
