Vision 2025
Be the Inspiration. Lead the Future.
Given the prolonged recovery of the economic environment, many companies and organizations have hunkered down to ride out the storm. Savvy industry leaders, however, are positioning for a new market and looking to conduct more effective and efficient business operations. These firms are recruiting and hiring candidates that have vision, proven performance and a broad business sense. Are you ready to demonstrate these skills?
The Executive MBA (EMBA) program at the UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management offers the most robust curriculum in north Dallas with 53 credit hours. Our cohort approach encourages collaboration. Our leadership and our executive coaches work one-on-one with each EMBA student to improve soft skills and individualize our program to your specific needs. We also offer two trips an Americas trip and an international trip.
The UT Dallas Executive MBA program is relevant, engaging and transformational. Join us for an Information Session soon to learn how we can help you prepare for 2025.

Our 21-month cohort program, over 5 semesters, begins in August each year. (View the 2016 calendar).

Our international trip compares how business is conducted and how cultures vary in two different cities/countries.

We offer a structured Executive Coaching program to help you refine your executive presence, social networking skills and political and social intelligence
The business world is becoming increasingly dynamic with globalization and information/mobile technologies changing how the world does business. Change in the economic environment mandates that companies must be more efficient and effective even as Big Data analytics fundamentally changes how people manage and forecast business trends. Social networks increasingly impact consumers buying trends and customer relationships. For the first time ever, we have four distinct generations in the workplace. Yet, at the end of the day, its all about leading and motivating people.
After meeting with numerous professors, alumni and business partners, we have refreshed our curriculum to be forward thinking. We aim to prepare business professionals to develop and implement successful strategies for today, 2025 and beyond.
Our curriculum still includes the fundamentals of business such as organizational behavior, financial accounting, managerial accounting, financial management, business economics and marketing. But its emphasis now addresses questions such as:
How and where does your company deploy its corporate resources and assets? What is the best strategy to move forward?
In a near real-time, data-driven business environment, what data do you really need to connect with existing customers, drive new business, and forecast new trends? How will you interpret and use this data?
What does leadership mean in a globalized economy? How to does a company develop a public image that recognizes international cultures and assumes corporate social responsibility and still increases shareholder wealth?

Americas Trip
Our first year Americas trip is a four-day trip designed to enable a better understanding of business and government policy. In recent years, we have been to Toronto, Canada, Vancouver, Canada, and Washington, D.C. The Class of 2015 visited Panama in March 2014 and the Class of 2016 will go to Nova Scotia in 2015.
International Trip
Our second year 10-day international trip is designed to enable EMBA students to meet with business and government executives and educators to better understand the dynamic global business environment and culture of two different cities, often in two separate countries.
Our recent trips have been to Hong Kong and Shanghai, China; Delhi and Mumbai, India; Taipei, Taiwan and Beijing, China. The Class of 2014 visited Melbourne and Sydney Australia in April 2014. We will announce the international study tour location for the Class of 2015 in August 2014.
Costs of the trips are included in the tuition costs with the exception of the long flight for the international trip. This gives students the flexibility to use their frequent flyer miles and to travel independently before or after the trip.

Each month, you will complete homework assignments designed to help reach your personal and professional growth goals.
