MikeInRI is correct. They tend to hold classes in the evenings and weekends and assume that their students work full-time during the day. They also tend to be shorter in length than the traditional 2-year MBA programs, and often are lock-step (meaning that your courses and the order in which you take them are chosen for you) and often are a cohort system (meaning that you have the same students in all of your classes throughout the program)

An MBA is usually for mid-career business professionals who want to bring their career to the next level. An EMBA stands for executive Masters of Business Administration. I know the EMBA programs near me are geared for people in upper management who want to learn more about management for their present job. MBA programs are usually full time while EMBAs are geared for people working so classes are during the weekends and evenings. The curriculum is likely different because the students in an EMBA program would have more real life experience in business.

An EMBA is really not any different than a regular MBA except it is suppose to be more geared towards executives (ergo why it is called an "Executive-Master in Business Administration"). To learn more aboout an EMBA program check out http://www.lmu.edu/Page29514.aspx

I have a MBA, Masters of Business Administration, however, never heard of EMBA, and the only thing I can possibly imagine it is, is Economic(s) Masters Business Administration, unless it is something new that has just been introduced at the graduate level.
