Our Curriculum
The objective of the Villanova School of Business Executive MBA program
is to develop and transform you from an emerging executive leader into an
effective executive leader—one who consistently creates value for his or
her organization. That's why we created a unique curriculum featuring
five strategic content streams delivered throughout the 21 month EMBA
experience:
- Strategy & Positioning
- Leading Change & Managing People
- Measurement & Performance Systems
- Executive Coaching
- Systems Thinking
Many successful executive leaders have developed the knowledge, skills, and attributes that account for their success largely by chance—being in the right place, at the right time, and having the right opportunities. But leadership strategies and succession plans that leave success to chance are risky for both the individual and the organization. A more strategic and dedicated approach—supported by an Executive MBA program designed specifically to contribute to this process—offers far greater likelihood of success.
Systems Thinking
The Systems Thinking stream is the foundation of the
Villanova EMBA program, and it is led by one of the original contributors to the
third generation of Systems Thinking, Jamshid Gharajedaghi. Systems Thinking is
the process of identifying a problem within a system or organization, searching
for its source, mapping out how the problem affects the organization, and then
finding a sustainable solution.
We encourage our applicants to learn more about our curriculum by attending
one of our bi-annual Open Houses, where they can speak with a member of our
admissions team and schedule a class visit.
