The experience was far and away the best educational experience of my life. My perspective on everything from the most mundane task to my broad personal objectives was changed dramatically. I can't get the same experience with another school locally and I don't see the value of flying somewhere every other weekend to get the same experience elsewhere. --Accounting
Our class represented in excess of 800 years of actual business experience. Most of the time the professors were able to draw from the experiences of the class to help our discussion. --Strategy
I feel that the focus and objective of the program is well thought out by the faculty and administration of Emory. I sought to enhance my knowledge of strategy, marketing, finance, and international business and this program addressed all of these areas in an exceptional fashion. The work was very team-oriented and new teams were assigned at the beginning of each term. As a result, you were able to work closely with a large cross section of your classmates and learn from them. The caliber of faculty that taught our classes was the creme de la creme of each of the Business School's departments. As such, these professors began the course work at an appropriate level, given the class' experience level and took us from there into new areas of research and application. --Marketing
My goal was to get the best possible degree and the most highly regarded program available at a reasonable travel distance. Goizueta Business School's EMBA program has been, and continues to be, highly ranked. And the Emory name is quite well known. --Product Management
My major complaint was the compressed time frame - condensing the curriculum into a 16-week course of study. I was glad for this after completion but felt the compressed schedule did dilute the full potential benefit of the curriculum. --Consultant
(Improvements?) Valet parking. Seriously, it felt like first class treatment in every way. I often felt guilty for being so pampered and I really don't understand how they can motivate such high quality individuals to provide such outstanding service. --Accounting
Knowing yourself, how you learn and how you cope is key to selecting the right program for yourself, your company and your family. This was the best option that I could have chosen, and it worked well. --Sales and Sales Training
The "out of class" assistance to reduce distractions such as providing meals on class day, providing us with class materials and books was excellent. School sponsored activities to bring students together "outside of class" was also extremely helpful in fostering teamwork. --Marketing
Admissions did a phenomenal job of recruiting talent from various business niches. I enjoyed each and every person's perspective (however some I wished would have offered it more frequently). The program also included a 10-day colloquium to SE Asia for the purpose of providing a perspective on international business practices. This was great hands-on learning. This is a great competitive advantage for Emory. Their contacts overseas in the financial and high tech manufacturing communities made this a worthwhile and rewarding piece of the program. --Product Service
The connection with the corporate sponsors is the area that needs the most improvement - even the ones that did not pay for the program. The best learning opportunities came from applicable work experiences and the program should double its efforts to find opportunities for the students to bring real work situations to the classroom as well as to assist students' outreach back to their job sites with new insights. There could also be some refinement to the timing of the program so that the content and workload is more evenly distributed throughout the program. --Service Provider/Consultant
(Improvements?) Find/use more creative ways to draw out peoples experience in the classroom setting. It was sometimes quite competitive for "air time," which did not always lead to quality discussion from those with the most insightful and relevant experiences. Younger, less mature participants seemed to flourish in this setting while the more mature, seasoned professionals with valuable input would sit back and let the "kids fight it out" for the participation grade. --Finance
