“Medicine is one of the most challenging
businesses in the world today. I chose
to pursue the Executive MBA Program
at the University of Utah to learn the
fundamentals of business and leadership.
I have found this program to be one of the
best educational experiences of my life.
The faculty is superb and the program
offers a highly skilled level of instruction
that can be utilized at any level of
administration. I highly recommend this

The Executive MBA Program is designed to provide experienced
professionals with even higher levels of leadership, analysis,
interpersonal, and strategic planning skills. Among many other assets,
graduates leave with a finely-honed ability to create both visions and
solutions, and the knowledge needed to implement them within the
context of an organization.
Because of the high value and uniqueness of our program, we attract a
talented and diverse group of individuals. A typical class might include
managers from consulting firms, financial groups, manufacturing
companies, service industries, and the health care community.
Participants share ideas with managers and officers in accounting,
human resources, and information technology, as well as marketing
experts and a variety of other professionals. This multifaceted group
of peers, combined with our faculty—many of whom are leaders in
their fields—help equip students to assess not only today’s business
problems but those of five, ten, and 20 years into the future.
Our program offers depth and breadth in a range of disciplines,
varied teaching styles, and exceptionally intelligent, high-performance
students—but few prescriptions. It demands independent thinking.
It is rigorous and it exults in challenge. The benefit to students is
a business education that goes beyond an introduction to general
principles and beyond the acquisition of technical skills.

Developing a broad global perspective is essential to understanding
the international business environment. Executive MBA students
travel abroad the final session of their program and experience
firsthand the strategic and organizational systems in the modern
global industry. Observing business practices and customs and gaining
an understanding of cultural, financial, and political ramifications
prepares students for business decision-making on a global level.
During the International Field Study, students tour renowned firms
and have direct contact with high-level executives and government
officials. Previous Executive MBA classes have visited Chile, China,
Argentina, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Japan.
In short, our Executive MBA Program helps students understand
the current business environment from every perspective, and to
position their company—and themselves—to effectively meet every
challenge on the horizon.
“The David Eccles School of Business
Executive MBA Program is a life
experience. In addition to being an
extremely high quality program in its
own right, it provides an opportunity
to interact with other top executives of
common direction, ability, and position.
The friends you make in this program
will literally last a lifetime, enriching both
your personal and professional lives. If the
opportunity presents itself, no one should
pass this up.”

■ Through our unique system of two one-week intensive sessions and
weekly Friday or Saturday classes on campus, plus an International
Field Study, students continue their career uninterrupted while
enhancing their day-to-day performance.
■ While making a substantial time commitment to the Executive
MBA program—students average 15 to 20 hours a week outside of
class on some combination of computer, team, and individual projects
and course assignments—our staff is committed to streamlining all
outside administrative concerns.
Before the first day of class, the Executive Education staff has taken
care of registrations, textbooks and class materials, and parking
permits. The Executive MBA laptops will be loaded and ready to
go; students have easy access to copying and faxing on class days and
can count on breakfast and lunch on every class day.
From an administrative perspective, it’s a turnkey program.
Throughout the program, from the first week’s session at an
executive resort to the final International Field Study, the Executive
Education staff treat the participants like the business professionals
they are.
■ All participants have six-plus years of professional and/or managerial
experience, and have strong potential for senior-level leadership
positions in their current organizations or in their future jobs.
■ The majority of participants are sponsored by their employers.
Many motivated entrepreneurs also enroll, realizing that their
investment will pay for itself many times over.
■ Admission to the program is competitive and is based on several
factors detailed in admissions materials enclosed with this brochure,
and on our Web site at www.emba.utah.edu. However, one key
advantage to consider is that the GMAT can be waived in select
cases.

“The Executive MBA Program helped
me broaden my knowledge and enhance
my skills to make better strategic and
operational decisions. Since most of
my working career was spent in human
resource management, the Executive
MBA Program helped me gain new
information, experiences, and knowledge
in other key strategic areas of business
such as finance, accounting, marketing,
and operations management. Through
the efforts of experienced Executive
MBA professors and instructors, my
knowledgeable classmates and some hard
work on my part, I gained a more well-
rounded business background and have
increased my credibility at a strategic
business level.”

“As an experienced entrepreneur, I tend
to evaluate every expenditure in terms
of value and return. I am happy to say
that my investment in the Executive

has given me a complete perspective on
my past ventures that have succeeded or
failed. In addition, numerous case studies

my professors said, “An Executive MBA
degree will not guarantee you a better
position, but the profound knowledge
you gain will guarantee you a successful

“As an executive level manager in
this competitive world economy, I
felt an MBA could give me an edge.
I researched many programs before
choosing this one. The deciding factor
was ROI; it seemed fairly priced, the
faculty was accomplished, and the
curriculum looked spot on. The
program surpassed my expectations.
Within three months of starting I
was already applying the skills and
knowledge I’d learned in class. The
faculty was superb and the staff
pampered us. I loved the class
interaction and dramatically expanded
my network of executive peers. Best of
all, I recouped my tuition very quickly
due to MBA-influenced raises. This
is a grueling program but extremely
rewarding and well worth the effort.”

After a week-long Executive MBA session at an executive resort,
your program headquarters will be the 21st-Century C. Roland
Christensen Center (CRCC) on the University of Utah campus.
A building designed around the needs of executives, the CRCC brings
together one of the oldest teaching tools, the discussion classroom, with
the most advanced computing technologies to facilitate interactive,
rigorously analytical, and straight-ahead, practical learning. Our
executive education classes have power ports at every seat. The
Executive Education staff is also located in the CRCC to support the
Executive MBA Program.
In addition to its fabulous classrooms, the CRCC’s many alcoves,
informal gathering areas, and café offer places where students and
faculty can gather to discuss cases.
The David Eccles School of Business rivals the quality of top business
schools across the country. It offers a full range of undergraduate,
master’s and Ph.D. programs in addition to the state’s top Executive
MBA Program.
Located on 1,500 tree-lined acres just minutes from downtown Salt
Lake City, the campus is rather like a large park devoted to learning.
It is rich in both cultural and outdoor features—from art museums
and concert halls to tennis courts and a golf course. Consider it an
executive retreat of sorts—a place to learn and reflect, away from
the hectic workplace.
The University of Utah, with a total
enrollment of more than 29,000
students from all 50 states and 102
countries, is one of the country’s
leading institutions for research and
teaching. In fact, the National Sciences
Foundation ranks it in the top 35
institutions nationally. It offers a full
range of academic programs, including
75 undergraduate degree programs,
50 teaching majors and minors, and
96 graduate majors. The University
of Utah Health Sciences Center, the
Huntsman Cancer Institute, John A.
Moran Eye Center, and Eccles Institute
of Human Genetics are among the
University’s renowned research centers.
From our College of Law to the College
