Executive MBA professors make subject matter relatable through class discussions, case studies, simulations, applied-learning projects, and one-on-one conversations. Learning by doing is a priority. EMBA professors care about your success. They talk through concepts with you, get to know you better outside the classroom, make themselves accessible beyond class weekends, and have even been known to invest in student startups.
