Millsaps Launches Executive MBA Program

Designed for business professionals, the program will meet every other weekend for 16 months. The first class will begin in January 2012 and applications are now being accepted.

Howard McMillan introduces the Millsaps EMBA Program

"The goal of the Executive MBA program is to offer the mid-career business executive a graduate degree option that fits into his or her life where your fellow students are also your peers in the business world," said Howard McMillan, dean of the Else School of Management at Millsaps College. "Study groups bring together real world experience that can give an executive immediate value in an ongoing career - an instant return on investment."

Participants must have a minimum of seven years of managerial work experience. The program expects to attract individuals from a variety of professions including engineering, finance, health care, law, manufacturing and non-profit sectors.

"This program is tailored to meet the work/life balance of aspiring leaders seeking to enhance their careers," said Bill Brister, director of the Executive MBA Program. "It's an intense program that will include an international experience that will offer a global perspective."

The Else School of Management is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) which represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. The Else School of Management is known for offering students intense preparation for the business environment, stressing ethical and professional standards and building leaders. In addition to the new Executive MBA, the Else School offers bachelor of business administration, master's of business administration and master's of accountancy degrees.
