2013 Top 10 EMBA Programs<\/a><\/p>\n

1. UPenn Wharton<\/a>

This year\u2019s U.S. News<\/em> Executive MBA<\/a> rankings offer an excellent reason to view rankings with skepticism. The reason is not so much because I disagree or agree with the information provided above, but because of the program ranked #13: Stanford University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stanford doesn\u2019t have an Executive MBA program.<\/p>\n

The closest it has is the Stanford Sloan Fellows program, which is aimed at older, middle managers, but it is not<\/em> an EMBA program. EMBA programs typically are part-time programs where participants continue to work full-time. Stanford Sloan Fellows study in a full-time, one-year Masters in Management program. They do not even earn an MBA.<\/p>\n

To the extent you use these rankings (or other rankings), do so with caution<\/a>, skepticism, and a large dose of salt. Rank programs based on what\u2019s important to you.<\/p>\n
