Overall, great school. Classmates are absolutely wonderful. That, in my opinion, is the single biggest strength of the program. They recruit great people from a broad selection. If Yale is on your list, definitely visit the campus. I initially had no intention of enrolling and that completely changed when I visited campus and met other students and prospective students.
The program has exceeded my needs and expectations. Many of the professors are very interactive and many appreciate teaching an Executive class vs. full-time. You will find that the experiences shared by EMBA students are grounded in a much longer employment record. We have CEO's, head counsels, and business owners among the ranks. It's impressive.
The EMBA staff is tight-knit and knowledgeable about their students. Any time there is a problem or issue, they are very responsive. This is crucial when you are juggling a career and school at the same time. No matter where you go for an EMBA, make sure you look into this aspect because it will make a big difference throughout the year.
I am in the Sustainability track for my MBA. I actually love the fact that we are able to take a specialization in the EMBA program. I ran across very few Executive programs that actually allowed for specialization. Because the three different tracks are equally weighted in class size, it ensures that you don't get a class of nothing but financiers or investment bankers.
I have not personally started any sort of recruiting process. The resources at hand, however, are significant. Job placement is also quite different in the Executive MBA program. Most of your leads are going to come from classmates instead of the school. The purpose of the EMBA program is not to get you a new job, but it does make it very easy for you to do so.
