If you’re looking to grow your network, strengthen your leadership, and future-proof your career, Utah’s Executive MBA is your next move.
What is an Executive MBA?
An Executive MBA is a dynamic business degree designed for experienced professionals. With your career already underway, the curriculum builds on what you know—updating your knowledge with modern practices and global business insights. At the University of Utah, EMBA classes are held every other weekend on Friday and Saturday, allowing you to balance your career and education without sacrificing one or the other. The program’s faculty are hand-selected by the dean and bring a combination of world-class research and industry expertise. With a focus on leadership, networking, and global business strategy, the Executive MBA is an ideal fit for seasoned professionals ready to level up.
The real return of an EMBA
Earning an Executive MBA is no easy task—but the return is worth it. Graduates of the David Eccles School of Business Executive MBA see an average 28% salary increase at graduation. Three years later, that number climbs to 57%. “I’m making more than double what I was,” says graduate Erica Cuttitta. That’s not all. During the program, 43% of students received new job responsibilities, and 35% were promoted. Graduate Neil Christensen shares, “In my first six months, I was promoted from director to senior director.” Katie Swenson adds that she earned a promotion “because of the growth potential that I demonstrated.” Beyond the numbers, EMBA graduates gain confidence in their leadership, the courage to pursue bold career moves, and a supportive network of ambitious peers. “The MBA program was life changing in all facets of my life,” says Toby Enniss, EMBA graduate. “I don’t think there is an individual who would not benefit from the program.”
