Designed for managers and professionals who have at least five years of full-time professional work experience, it consists of courses similar to the full-time MBA program but is unique in reflecting and focusing on the management experience of its students. Obtaining a degree through the EMBA program requires a year-round commitment for two years.

- Minimum of five years of full-time managerial work experience (average is eleven years)

The BYU Marriott Executive MBA program requires fifty-four credit hours of coursework. Students in the program’s challenging curriculum approach management through six core areas of study: accounting, finance, international business, marketing, operations, and organizational behavior. The program is designed to provide broad management training with a curriculum that supplements hands-on work experience and the opportunity to immediately apply and test management theories and newly acquired skills. The course schedule is structured to be accessible and relevant for working professionals and to help maintain a balance between work, school, and family commitments.
