Degree Requirements
Students must be admitted to the EMBA program with graduate standing. The candidates must successfully complete the 43 credit hours of required EMBA courses. The academic performance of students is reviewed on a regular basis. If it is determined that a student is not making satisfactory progress toward meeting degree requirements or if the student’s overall GPA falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on probation. Conditions and deadlines for the removal of probation will be specified. Failure to meet the conditions will result in separation from the EMBA program. Graduation requires a minimum overall GPA of 3.00.
Withdrawing from a class is considered as being unsuccessful in that course and in the program and will result in dismissal from the program. A student who, due to extraordinary circumstances, is forced to withdraw from a course and is subsequently dismissed from the program may appeal to the Director of the EMBA Program. Students who do not successfully complete a course in their EMBA program may replace the course with a similar course taken from the regular MBA program at UNLV or with another EMBA cohort at UNLV. The substitution requires the approval of the Director of the EMBA Program in the Lee Business School and is discouraged. Substitution will be possible only under the most unusual circumstances. In no case may more than two courses be substituted.
The content of the courses is customized to meet the need of executives. Classes will generally meet on Friday and Saturday every other weekend. Classes will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day. Students must be able to make a commitment to attend all classes. EMBA Curriculum - Total Credits: 43
Each cohort will take an international trip. The “International Seminar” will be tied to the international trip and will require students to learn about the culture and business practices of the countries to be visited. |
