The WashU Executive MBA—Lead with higher purpose

Focused on Leadership

Leadership development is embedded in every component of this program—every course, every project, every residency. It’s why we emphasize assessments and leadership coaching with certified coaches, including after the program ends.


Our Curriculum, Your Schedule

This program is designed for individuals like you—people who balance long work hours, frequent travel, active lifestyles and family commitments. You’ll attend classes just once a month on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Values Based, Data Driven decision-making means examining facts and figures weighed against principles, values and impact. You’ll understand the role data should play in your organization, enabling you to make thoughtful, sound decisions at every turn and every scale.

Time Commitment

In addition to your class days, most EMBA students spend 10 to 15 hours each week completing course assignments. Much of your out-of-class time is spent reading cases and preparing for class. Many student teams also meet once a week.

Open Doors, Foster Relationships

While in the program, you'll build a robust network of accomplished classmates, top-notch faculty, engaged WashU alumni and diverse business leaders. You'll also gain an appreciation for the value of relationships and individual differences.
