Fortune posted a nice "beginner" EMBA article. If you are new to EMBA, you will learn something new. Even I learned about EMBAC - I had no idea it existed or what it was ... though still not sure why it exists 
Yes, you can change careers after getting an executive MBA—it just won’t be easy
(sorry, the article title did not fit into the subject so I rephrased).
The average executive MBA student is about 38 years old with 14 years of work experience, eight of which are in management, according to research by the Executive MBA Council (EMBAC). By comparison, a traditional MBA student usually falls in the 24-to-30-year age range and has just a few years of work experience.
Right off the bat, there’s a clear distinction between EMBA and MBA candidate demographics. There’s also a chasm in reasons for pursuing either program. Traditional MBA candidates typically enter a program with a goal to earn a promotion or salary increase—or change their career altogether.
EMBA candidates, on the other hand, choose to continue their education for other reasons and are less likely to pursue the degree to make a complete career switch, experts agree. “I wouldn’t say it’s the reason that people go back, but it certainly opens up opportunities for them,” says Michael Desiderio, executive director of EMBAC. While an EMBA can increase the odds that a candidate will be able to change careers, “you’ve got to put in the work to make that happen,” he adds.
In other words, it’s not likely that EMBA candidates intend to make a complete 180-degree switch. Rather, throughout the EMBA program, they’re looking to deepen their knowledge of different industries and functions—which could result in a 45-degree or 90-degree career change, says Joe Stephens, the senior assistant dean and director of the working professionals and executive MBA programs at the University of Texas–Austin (McCombs). By Stephens’ definition, that’s when a candidate makes either an industry or job function change after graduation....
