Academic Calendars
The Executive MBA Program in New York City kicks off with a one-week orientation residency where students jump right into classes and also start building strong relationships with their classmates. During the 22 months of coursework, students attend class on Friday and Saturday, every other week, at our building in the heart of Washington Square. In addition to class weekends, students participate in a required Global Immersion Experience to expand their learnings outside the classroom and build a more global perspective.
