Banking and Financial Institutions

The Executive MBA in Banking and Financial Institutions program is designed to develop and enhance a candidate's skills that are necessary for a position of leadership in a financial institution or regulatory agency. This program emphasizes the integration and synthesis of various disciplines to develop a student's ability to function and make sound administrative decisions in a dynamic financial institution environment. The EMBA program is suited for qualified students from any academic discipline who have experience in the financial institutions field.

Not only is the Executive MBA a unique and quality-based program with a focus in banking and financial institutions, it is the best value for the money.

This is a two-year cohort program with a new cohort beginning each fall semester. An annual one-week residency at the main campus is required prior to the start of each fall semester and one Saturday during each spring semester.
