Just how does the Executive MBA degree measure up?

Quite well, it seems, according to the most recent research on the value of the Executive MBA degree to students and their organizations.

High satisfaction

Research by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) confirms high levels of satisfaction, often higher than levels reported by students in Full-Time and Part-Time MBA Programs:

  • 87 percent of Executive MBA alumni reported they were extremely or very satisfied with the increase in career options that their MBA offered them, compared to 75 percent of Part-Time MBA alumni and 80 percent of Full-Time MBA alumni

  • 90 percent of Executive MBA alumni reported they were extremely or very satisfied with the credential, compared to 78 percent of Part-Time MBA alumni and 81 percent of Full-Time MBA alumni

  • 66 percent of Executive MBA alumni reported they were extremely or very satisfied with an increase in earning power, compared to 57 percent of Part-Time MBA alumni and 69 percent of Full-Time MBA alumni.


Many benefits


Executive MBA students and their organizations benefit in many ways from Executive MBA Programs:

  • On average, it takes 17 months for a company to gain its return on the investment it made, according to respondents who worked for companies that reimburse or sponsor employees in MBA Programs and measure return on investment, according to GMAC results.

  • In the GMAC Global MBA Graduate Surveys, 91 percent of Executive MBA alumni reported their ability to think strategically improved either a great deal or a good deal as a result of the program.

  • The 2005 Executive MBA Council Student Satisfaction Survey reveals an increase in the percentage of students who reported promotions while in the program
