The Executive MBA program is structured for mid-career to upper-career professionals who are fully employed. Rather than a program of traditional course disciplines (e.g., accounting, marketing, finance) the EMBA program offers a more thematic approach — integrating the material and often delivering it with faculty from different disciplines teaching in a team format. Core faculty include the school’s most senior, experienced members as well as nationally renowned academic and business specialists.
The program begins with a six-day domestic residential session. Thereafter, the 21-month program is delivered in a hybrid format, with synchronous online remote sessions on Tuesday evenings and on-campus, in-person sessions on Saturdays (full days) with a short summer break. Each theme also includes a Friday/Saturday “residential weekend” that occurs on campus at the beginning of each theme. The program is offered over a two-year period at the USC campus in downtown Los Angeles. As with the other USC Marshall MBA programs, an extensive international trip known as ExPORT is integrated into the second year of the curriculum.

Program Structure
This program uses a non-traditional interdisciplinary approach to executive and managerial education though “themes” that integrate various functional areas and address classic, yet dynamic, business issues.
