Significant changes since 1997
|
|
|
|
Otago's EMBA program was first introduced in August 1997. Prior to that time, the University of Otago had only offered the full-time MBA which was the first one in New Zealand (1976). Since the EMBA I class began in 1997, very little has been changed in content or structure.
|
|
Special trips or projects outside of country
|
|
|
|
|
|
The school's trip does not go out of the country but, rather to New Zealand's South Island where students spend one residential week focusing on international business.
