What is an Executive MBA?
Executive MBA is a type of MBA (Master of Business Administration) specially designed and adapted for managers with the appropriate academic and professional experience in either the private or public sector.
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) originated in America over a hundred years ago and has now reached worldwide recognition. In the 1990s the Executive MBA programmes begun to be established outside North America. Accredited business schools worldwide now run more than 240 Executive MBA programmes.
