| An EMBA or Executive MBA program is largely meant for executives who have at least a five years of experience on their curriculum vitae. Advantages include brand name, forging connections at the executive level and comprehensive domain knowledge in a variety of subjects. The classroom is generally more dynamic because each participant brings unique real-world scenarios to the table.
An EMBA is ideal for working professionals as it can be pursued simultaneously with an active job. Some courses (like the one offered by Wharton) may insist on company sponsorship and nomination. Others integrate cross sector paradigms in their approach. For example, Yale's Leadership in Healthcare Course combines leadership with medicine, public health and law.

Opting for a Second MBA
It is usual for people who have obtained their MBA from institutes outside US and Europe to apply for an additional MBA from the States. Candidates are expected to justify such a decision in the application form itself. Legitimate explanations include understanding management-related cultural differences and broadening business expertise.
