Are Executive MBAs Worth the Money? (In the News)
[6/29/2009]
The last thing you'd probably want to do right now is write a check out to someone for $94,625. But, while most of us are busy refinancing mortgages and re-evaluating our 401(k)s, that's exactly what several hundred mid-level managers in Dallas-Fort Worth are doing.
The money's to pay for an advanced degree called the Executive MBA. The managers hope the EMBA will catapult them to the next level in their careers, saving them from the unemployment that has wiped out the jobs of thousands of their peers along the way.
In essence, an Executive MBA degree is not much different than the master's of business administration degree that one-third of today's CEOs hold. But instead of tabling your career for a year or two to pursue, as happens with a typical MBA, an EMBA allows full-time employees to take classes about four days a month over roughly 20 months.
The focus on basic business principles like finance and economics is the same as with the MBA, but there's also an emphasis on "soft skills"--the qualitative elements that make a manager good at what he or she does.
For many enrolled in EMBA programs locally, the steps toward obtaining the degree begin as a means to an end. Most of the students are deeply involved in their organizations--typically with 15 years of work experience, and eight years of managerial experience, under their belts. They want and need the degree in order to rise in rank within their companies.
