Lead at the enterprise level.
Expand your impact across your organization with Drexel LeBow’s Executive MBA (EMBA). The newly redesigned program will strengthen your strategic judgement as you navigate today’s most pressing business challenges, including leveraging AI and other emerging technologies, so you can assess high-level opportunities and make evidence-based decisions. You’ll be able to immediately apply what you learn to your work while studying in a format that fits well within your busy schedule and supports your personal transformation.
A Format Built for Working Executives
Our hybrid program is thoughtfully structured over 21 months, so you can fully engage with your studies while reducing time away from your work and personal life. Each semester includes one in-person residency — including an international residency in the fourth semester — along with virtual courses. This format gives you opportunities to build meaningful connections with faculty and accomplished professionals from across industries within your cohort.
A Curriculum for Leading Across the Business
LeBow’s EMBA curriculum is designed to help experienced professionals expand their perspective beyond a single function and lead across the enterprise. Through an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll examine complex business challenges through strategic, financial, organizational, technological, legal and global lenses — integrating these perspectives to make informed enterprise-level decisions.
You’ll also graduate with an AI Leadership Certificate, an additional credential reflecting the applied AI learning built into program courses and projects. Emerge from your studies prepared to create business value and lead responsible AI-driven transformation across your organization.
The Executive and Alumni Network
Through the EMBA program’s cohort model, you’ll build a network that extends beyond the classroom, connecting you with professionals from across industries and geographies — in addition to the tens of thousands of Drexel and LeBow alumni in the larger Dragon Network.
There is no doubt that I would not be where I am today, in the role I hold, if not for Drexel’s EMBA program. From the first class, I was learning and growing soft and technical skills that I was able to leverage and apply directly to my job.
