Best EMBA Programs for Younger Candidates

For younger candidates, given the right profile and accomplishments and carefully selected schools, an EMBA program may be the right platform for you. Columbia, Wharton and Cornell Johnson are the three schools whose class profiles skew among the youngest of all top EMBA programs, with the average age of matriculating students in the early- to mid-30s.

Columbia Business School
Columbia Business School has the youngest average matriculating age of its EMBA students, at 33-years old. At MBA Admit.com, however, we have helped candidates as young as 25-years old to gain admission to this program. The average Columbia EMBA student has 9 years of professional experience. Most students come from the financial services industry (48%), followed by healthcare and pharmaceuticals (12%) and the consulting industry (11%). Approximately two-thirds of students receive at least partial sponsorship from their company. Although 80% of students currently live in the tri-state area (CT, NY and NJ), classrooms are located in New York City, London, Hong Kong, and occasional meetings in Silicon Valley, Toronto, and São Paulo. This kind of flexibility allows young working professionals to continue to grow in their field without having to sacrifice valuable working time.

Wharton
Wharton’s EMBA program has consistently held the spot for the top EMBA program. It was one of the first schools to develop this educational track and it remains one of the – if not “the” – best EMBA programs around. The average matriculating age of a Wharton EMBA student is 34-years old with an average of 10 years of work experience. The Wharton EMBA class is highly diverse, with 16% coming from healthcare, 12% from consulting, 11% from financial services, and 10% from portfolio management. Offered at both its San Francisco and Philadelphia campuses, the Wharton graduate leaves with a degree that is incontestably one of the top MBA degrees and joins a lifelong network of over 92,000 alumni in over 150 countries.

Cornell Johnson
Johnson Graduate School of Management also has a lower-than-average matriculating age at 36-years old. Students have an average of 13 years of work experience, with 39% entering from the financial services industry, followed by 14% from manufacturing and 10% from telecommunications/engineering. Classes are held at the IBM Executive Conference Center in Palisades, New York, as well as in Ithaca, New York through four one-week sessions. Executive students walk away with a wide and notable alumni network that includes Kraft Foods CEO Irene Rosenfeld, Booz & Company Chairman Joe Saddi and Chevron CEO Ken Durr. Particularly for candidates continuing their careers at a younger starting point, a strong alumni network may be a very important factor in deciding on the right fit for an EMBA program.
