Posted in:  EMBA , School: INSEAD INSEAD will launch a new version of its Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) program on its Singapore campus in August 2012, the school announced this week. The school will also debut a new in-house admissions test designed specifically for EMBA students by Prep Zone, a company founded by two INSEAD alumni.
The new Singapore GEMBA section will include both shorter modules during the week as well as weekend modules for much of the core curriculum. In addition to this newest GEMBA section centered in Singapore, INSEAD features three others: one centered in Fontainebleau, France; one in Abu Dhabi; and a joint program with Tsinghua University for Chinese executives. INSEAD Dean Dipak Jain told the Financial Times in an October 2011 interview he also intends to launch an EMBA program in the United States, probably with a partner.

Posted in: EMBA , MBA News , School: Berkeley / Haas The Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley has added a range of new course options this spring for its full-time, evening & weekend and executive MBA programs exploring emerging management topics and challenges related to the environment, leadership and more.
For full-time MBA students, two new courses focused on the environment are now available, one examining the dynamics between corporate and government policies and another looking at the ethics and decision making involved in green product design at the personal and organizational levels.
Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, Columbia Business School (CBS), Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and Spain’s IE Business School are among top MBA programs that are introducing a combined admissions process in which students who get rejected from a full-time MBA program can more easily be offered admission to a part-time or executive MBA offering instead, the Financial Times reports.
Through combined admissions, schools can look for applicants whose profiles may not be strong enough to secure a spot in the full-time MBA program but who might be well suited for the part-time or executive MBA programs. For example, students with low GMAT scores but valuable work experience could be admitted to the EMBA cohort at certain programs instead of the full-time MBA program, admissions officials told the FT.

Posted in: EMBA , School: Columbia Beginning in May 2011, Columbia Business School will add a new executive MBA (EMBA) program to its offerings, one that meets on Saturdays and requires that participants spend almost no time away from the office, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The new program will be unlike typical EMBA programs, which are held every other Friday and Saturday and require significant time away from work. CBS hopes it will help draw a greater range of students, including professionals from industries in which taking time off from work to obtain the degree would have a negative impact, such as private equity, hedge funds and trading, the Journal reports.

Posted in: EMBA , Rankings , School: Northwestern / Kellogg , School: Penn / Wharton The Wall Street Journal this week released its 2010 Executive MBA Rankings, with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania snagging the number one spot, up from number two in 2008. Rounding out the top five this year were, in decreasing order, Washington University’s Olin School, Thunderbird School of Global Management, the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
To compile its rankings, the Journal surveyed thousands of alumni and corporations about the quality of EMBA programs and how well they improve candidates’ management and leadership skills. According to the Journal’s own analysis, Wharton came out on top because it met the needs of both students and corporations well, providing more than 30 electives, classes in Philadelphia and San Francisco and additional career services personnel.
