Balanced Schedule
Cornell–Queen’s Executive MBA is an important undertaking that will require a significant investment of time.That’s why we have developed an 18-month schedule that is designed to allow you to pursue your degree while continuing to meet your personal and work responsibilities.
A SCHEDULE THAT WORKS
Regular class sessions are held on three weekends per month. These classes are normally held all day Saturday, but are occasionally held all day Sunday, creating minimal disruption to the work week.We confirm the class schedule well in advance so that you can plan your personal and course work time.
BALANCED WORKLOAD
Cornell–Queen’s Executive MBA typically requires you to carry two courses at a time, which balances the workload over the duration of the program. Exams, projects, and assignments are divided evenly throughout the program so that you can develop a regular work pattern.The schedule allows for some free time in December and July. There is also time in the fall allotted for travel relating to the Global Business Project.
Please note that this schedule is for the class that started in June 2009. Schedule for the class that begins in June 2010 has not yet been finalized.
