If you are working while earning an MBA can you call it an Executive MBA...?

Question

Even if your program doesn't specifically call it an "Executive" MBA?

Also, do you think there is a huge benefit in adding an emphasis or focus to an MBA?

Answer 1

No, you can't. Its only an "Executive MBA" if that's what the program calls itself. A fancy way of saying Part-time MBA in some cases, but in others I think there is employer sponsorship of your getting your MBA.

Honestly, I don't think it matters. What matters is the school and what you studied.

Yes, I think there is a big benefit to adding a focus to your MBA. I think all programs require you to have an area of concentration. I've never heard of any General MBAs.

I did a double concentration in Finance & Marketing with my MBA, as well as a "Certificate in Electronic Commerce" (back in the dot com boom days) at Stern. Full time program.

Answer 2

No. Executive MBA is program where you need to have minimum job experience for 2-3 years depending on University. Some courses from IIMC require minimum experience of 10 years. The Faculty assumes all the students are in Manager role for 2-3 years.

Answer 3

It relies upon truly. some employer faculties assist you to pass to their grad college on your mba in case you have a bachelors degree that's in a similar field, like a bachelors degree in economics and in case you scored intense on the gmat. that's uncommon nonetheless as maximum employer faculties will require you to have a Bachelor of employer administration (BBA). bear in mind, regardless of way you pass you will want your bachelors degree first and function taken all the pre-reqs + gmat. which would be an entire of four years of be taught. I recommend working with an adviser who already has an mba.
