Hiii Neha,first of all really congratulations that your are realy great pains for your career.LLM is quite huge master's degree & with 6 years make you extraordinary Neha. Being girl it really incredible.Anyways read this very carefullly Neha. It's not an "executive MBA;" it's an executive MBA PROGRAM. What that normally means is that the college tries to recruit "executives" to attend shortened course offerings (often at night and on weekends, to accomodate people's jobs). It's little more than a money-making initiative for the colleges and the professors who moonlight for those programs. The degree is allegedly the same as any other MBA, but I have my own doubts (that may be a bit of pomposity on my part). Executive MBA classes usually held on Saturdays all day long and/or some weeknights. They are entirely cohort programs, which means you take the same classes with everyone enrolled. This causes problems for elective courses since the way it works is the class 'votes' for what electives to have and comprimises. They say the programs are equivalent to a regular MBA but this isn't really the case. Instruction is less rigorous and expectations lower. One doesn't even need a good undergrad GPA nor GMAT scores to get in. Classes take on a more unscientific approach by emphasizing and discussing personal experience at length among the students. In fact, many EMBA programs are held in dining halls with a projector screen and not classrooms or lecture halls. Gourmet catered food service during sessions is common. That gives you an indication to how different it is from a regular MBA. Yes ! EMBA programs are extremely important to biz schools because they bring in huge amounts of money. Not necessarily just from the tuition (which is much higher than a regular MBA), but from how the students of the organizations tend to be large benefactors to the school itself (they donate a LOT of money and services). Honestly, it borders on unethical but that's how it's done. If you wanted to know more about the EMBA let me know i will share with you all the issues Neha.
