In accordance with the current world
situation, the creators of the rating also additionally contacted all ranked
business schools and collected information on how COVID-19 pandemic affects
admission to EMBA programs and the curriculum. The rating uses a methodology
that takes into account the reputation of each business school in the academic
community and among employers, as well as the demographic characteristics of
EMBA students, salary increases after the end of the program, and much more.
For admission to EMBA programs,
students must have significantly more experience than the average for MBA
programs. The academic degree awarded at the end of the training is intended
for the career growth of professionals. As a rule, the cost of training on most
EMBA programs is higher than on MBA programs, and applicants are required to
have a work experience of more than 10 years.
