Program Highlights
The difference between a manager and a leader is having a strategic, global perspective that comes not only from experience, but also from intellectual curiosity and exposure to new and better ideas. A leader recognizes the value of knowledge and leverages it wisely. A leader achieves results.
The Executive MBA Program at ILLINOIS has a recognized reputation for developing managers into global thinkers and motivated business leaders. For more than 30 years, we have achieved excellence by selecting the finest faculty resources from the College of Business and by enrolling students who possess the greatest potential for leading their organization.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign places an emphasis on leadership and entrepreneurship at all levels in programs throughout the University. In recognition of our innovative curriculum, Fortune® Small Business recently ranked the ILLINOIS Executive MBA among the top twelve EMBA programs in the nation for entrepreneurs. We also were named as one of the top three EMBA programs in Chicago by Crain's Chicago Business®.
