BusinessWeek, which ranks EMBA programs on the basis of graduate satisfaction and a reputation poll of EMBA program directors, got generally upbeat assessments from the school’s grads. The ultimate accolade, however, was the following comment from a Class of 2011 graduate: “I was always inspired by the professors and couldn’t wait to get to class. Once in class I couldn’t wait to get back to the office and use my new skills. There were several times that the professors inspired a great idea in me that I literally used in the office right away and my staff recognized the difference it made in me as a leader, they were waiting for me to become a better leader and they were inspired too. You know that you have a great experience when you have completed the program and despite all the struggles to get through the coursework, you are sad that it is over.”
