[quote=Anonymous]Regarding whether or not an EMBA is prestigious (or even more prestigious than an MBA) is an odd question.

EMBAs are for experienced, successful executives with lots of work experience who are typically being groomed by their current employer for a higher position within the business organization.

Regular MBA students primary interest focuses on switching careers.

The course material is the same at Kellogg, Booth, & Wharton for EMBAs & MBAs, but EMBAs discuss issues & problems at a higher level than do the less experienced regular MBA candidates.

At U Penn-Wharton:

EMBA students average 12 to 13 years of work experience versus 4 years work experience in the full-time MBA program

The 80% GMAT range is higher for EMBA candidates: EMBA 680-750 versus 570-760 MBA

EMBA candidates are focusing on increasing management skills while MBA are focused on learning management skills.

EMBA programs are strictly cohort based while MBA students can choose different electives courses than those taken by their peers.

The typical EMBA candidate would be bored & frustrated in a regular MBA program due to the lack of experience. Full-time MBA candidates have to learn the kiddie steps that a typical EMBA candidate mastered years ago.[/quote]
