Our Executive MBA include hybrid course days designed for international graduate students studying in the U.S., or domestic students seeking a hybrid-format program.  Executive MBA programs also work well for international students with visas who have a CPT/OPT component to their degree. We strive to incorporate professional experience and real-world application of course curriculum into our programs to enhance the learning experience.  Practical Training is an integral part of program coursework and available to all students.  This hybrid MBA model is ideal for working professionals and business executives who want a part-time MBA program that works with their busy schedule but isn’t completely online.

Students will also have the opportunity to interact face-to-face with faculty and their classmates. The residency class days include student presentations, group case studies, networking opportunities, and Q&A lectures by professors who bring extensive industry experience to the classroom. 

Executive Program students take three (3) courses per semester.  The program semester is based on the existing TWU semester calendar, with three (3) annual semesters: fall, spring, and summer.  Two of the courses each semester focus on the specific program content.  Additionally, students will be required to attend an intensive residency weekend as part of their course enrollment each term.  The third class includes an Applied Learning Practicum, in which students apply what they are learning in their other two courses to the real world via work or internship experiences.

What is the residency attendance policy?

Attendance at each Executive Residency class session is mandatory. Students may make up no more than one (1) residency session throughout the duration of their academic program. Missing a second residency will result in the student being dismissed from the University.  A missed session will result in the student attending a make-up session and paying a $300 Residency Make-Up fee. In addition, the student may be asked for documentation from the program department providing an explanation as to why the scheduled residency session was missed. Make-Up sessions must be completed prior to the end of the term. Noncompliance with this policy will result in dismissal from the executive program.
