Executive MBA

Student Experience

We understand that many of us live very busy lives. We’ve taken that into consideration and created a program that is structured for the busy professional.

Learning, knowledge, and ideas shared through a combination of on-campus and online classroom experiences enhance your educational experience.

Courses Offered in Hybrid Format

The hybrid model allows for true flexibility while maintaining focused education one class at a time. The cohort will meet online weekly and once or twice a month on-campus.

Location, Location, Location!

The UNM Executive MBA is offered in both Albuquerque and Northern New Mexico, bringing the executive leadership curriculum to your front door. The expansion of the UNM EMBA allows students to continue to pursue their career while earning the business credential to help you achieve your professional goals.

Offering access in Northern New Mexico will make the program’s in-person component more convenient for students in the Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Las Vegas and Taos areas. The Albuquerque program will also transition to new the hybrid format and continue to meet on the UNM campus.

Professional Development with Team Building Integration

We set you up in small teams within your cohort to be your support system throughout the program.
