Tuition, Scholarships, and Financial Aid
Tuition for the Emory University Executive MBA program is $118,347 for both the Weekend and Modular tracks. This cost includes required books, materials, parking, and meals, for instance. A select few students may receive tuition credits and specific scholarships. All students enrolling in the EMBA program however, are automatically considered for scholarships upon enrollment (based on the application’s strength). Other aid is available through Emory’s Financial Aid Office.
Emory University Executive MBA Admissions
Applicants to the EMBA programs must have a four-year degree or its equivalent for admission. They are also strongly encouraged to have about 8+ years of significant post-college work experience.
All applicants must complete an official EMBA application and pay a nonrefundable application fee of $150 and may request to waive the GMAT requirement by demonstrated prior academic, technical, or professional experience. The other application requirements for the EMBA program are identical as those for other Emory Goizueta MBA programs, except for re-applicants who need only to submit two essays instead of the standard four.
