Degree:Master
Field of Study:Business Administration and Management, General
Description:The Ivey Executive MBA program is an integrated management development experience that you will share in its entirety with your classmates. The program is structured to give you both the critical elements of business leadership and an ability to deal with the complex cross-enterprise challenges facing organizations at home and abroad. Our approach is practical, provides you immediate value, and is suited to experienced managers or professionals. Throughout the program, we challenge you to solve real problems faced by real managers. Our curriculum is more than a list of courses, each taken independently. Instead we integrate our modules so you experience a program in its true sense.
This becomes particularly evident as we explore the complex cross-enterprise issues that organizations face today: launching new initiatives, entering new markets, integrating merged organizations, and so on. We call this “Real World Leadership”

Classes are held Thursday through Sunday, once a month. In total, there are three five month terms. Each term begins with a one-week residential module in London at Ivey's Spencer Leadership Centre. There are no classes during the summer months to accommodate family and vacation time. There are two intakes a year; one in February and one in September. Our program schedule has proven to work well for those traveling to attend the Ivey Executive MBA.
