Business Reimagined

Business futures are driven by human capital. Manderson's Executive MBA curriculum develops executive leadership skills and the vision needed to expand horizons and enhance those futures.

Manderson boasts a relevant curriculum, a distinguished faculty and an incomparable return on investment (ROI). Data from the last alumni ROI reported that 80 percent of UA-EMBA alumni received promotions upon completion of the program and 32 percent received three-five promotions. The average salary increase was 23 percent. Corporations reported ROI at 23 months from start of program.

This EMBA is structured to allow working professionals to earn an MBA degree in a format featuring Friday evening and Saturday classes. For added convenience, this program is offered in both Tuscaloosa (beginning in October) and Huntsville (beginning in June). 

EMBA graduates and students are able to more effectively recognize and leverage opportunities, increase strategic thinking, partner with organizations and expand networks. The Manderson EMBA boardroom approach to learning emphasizes the power of these skills, and prepares students for careers navigating corporate challenges in volatile international market conditions. Manderson's EMBA provides a competitive edge that empowers students and enhances companies’ bottom lines. Our goal at Manderson is to provide valuable return on investment for EMBAs and the corporations supporting them.

The educational opportunities offered by Manderson are unlike any other, touching the lives of our students and inspiring them to greater success.
