The Eller Executive MBA program (located at the downtown Phoenix, AZ campus) consists of 21, eight‐week courses delivered in a lock‐step hybrid format with in-person class attendance one weekend per month at the Phoenix, AZ campus, as well as online classes, plus a mandatory two-hour orientation at the Phoenix, AZ campus, a mandatory three-day residential session at the Tucson, AZ campus, and a required 7-day global business experience. The program includes group work that will involve students meeting with other students in person or remotely. Working well within teams will be required for successful completion of the program. Staying on site in Phoenix overnight, allows the Executive MBA student to focus on academic and networking experiences. Many students comment that the close-knit community that develops through the course of the program is one of its greatest strengths.
The Eller College of Management is home to the Eller MBA program which houses the Full-Time, Evening, Online, and Executive MBA programs. With emphasis on Innovation, Application and Communication, the Eller MBA program is developing business leaders who can not only solve real world problems with a strong critical thinking framework, but also effectively communicate their solutions to a diverse group of stakeholders.
These degree programs are designed to educate students in modern scientific research methods as applied to general and specialized management problems and to prepare students for careers in education, management, or government.
In addition, the Full-Time MBA program offers a variety of dual programs. By combining the MBA degree with a graduate degree in a legal, scientific or technical field, Eller MBA students are uniquely poised to leverage their considerable understanding of the marketplace and create value in some of today’s most dynamic and interesting enterprises.
All prospective students interested in a dual-degree program option should also check with the partner department for additional admission requirements. To be considered a dual-degee candidate admission must be granted admissions to both programs. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. Proficiency in mathematics at the level of Calculus is preferred. Individual functional areas will vary to allow for differing backgrounds and to accommodate different special interests.
