Executive MBA programs differ from other kinds of MBA programs in the following ways:

• They are different from full-time programs because students continue to work while they study, are generally older and more experienced.
• They differ from most distance learning programs because the direct personal interaction in the classroom and in study groups is considered critical to the learning experience – though distance learning technologies are now often used to enhance this experience.
• They are different from other part-time programs because students generally enter as a group (or cohort) and learn together through the course of the program.
• In addition, Executive MBA programs usually offer additional support for students, including staff support, meals, and other amenities, so students with busy schedules can focus on learning.
