Testimonials

"As a Latin American, the EMBA has helped me better understand how business is done in the region. And I have been able to do this thanks to the interrelation with colleagues who come from different countries. In Spain I managed to connect what a strategy really is for business; in China I had the opportunity to learn business in a global world, where the Chinese community has really contributed to development and efficiency in how to do these businesses; and Boston opened my eyes to the subject of innovation "
Edwin Garcia

"I was very interested in the Latin American regional emphasis; although it does not lose the global point of view, the program is naturally oriented to this region and is what I was looking for, thinking about business interest. This is a demanding program, but suitable for women interested in improving their leadership. We need more women in training plans like this one. "
Maria Jose Pinto

FAQs
Is it possible to do the EMBA without sacrificing quality and dedication at work?
It is entirely possible and in fact, it is the reason why the format is modular (one week a month), to ensure that students can work without interrupting their professional career. In addition, this format allows you to apply what you have learned faster, thus offering a clear benefit to your employer.
Can a person who does not have a profession related to administration or finance do the EMBA?
Yes. Lawyers, psychologists, doctors and a wide variety of other people whose undergraduate training is not close to the area of administration and finance have studied at the EMBA. Although these individuals must go the extra mile to catch up in subjects with a high load of quantitative and financial analysis, the managerial approach of the master's degree allows them to quickly learn and adapt to the demands of the program. In addition, their contributions enrich the discussions in the classroom, offering an alternative and valid vision in the analysis of cases and debate on the subject.
Doing an executive master's degree means embarking on an exciting but also demanding life project, whose success depends on the interrelationship between work, study and personal life
