HIGHEr LEARNING

Taking two years off from a flourishing career to go back to school can be frightening for some business professionals. What if the job market changes in that time? What if it takes too long? For those professionals in mid-career who want to polish their skills, or take on a new method of doing business, top-level universities have developed the Executive Masters in Business Administration, or the EMBA. These non-traditional programs offer tailored learning in shorter or more segmented time than the traditional college semester.
In our annual list, Hispanic Enterprise has selected the 25 best programs based on such factors as minority enrollment, student work experience and number of students holding higher management positions, among others.
