EXECUTIVE EDGE track
IMMERSION EXPERIENCES
Don’t Just Study Business. Immerse Yourself in It.
We strongly believe that immersion learning is the best way to bring classroom theory and business fundamentals to life. That’s why our curriculum includes several immersion experiences that help you tackle business challenges as a team and take deep dives into key areas of business management.
TEAM IMMERSIONS
The C-Team Experience. Since most business decisions are made collaboratively, you’ll complete much of your work during both years of the program as part of a cross-functional C-Team of peers. This immersive learning experience will allow you to work with your C-Team on assignments as part of the Executive MBA curriculum and broaden your perspective as you gain insights from others with a complementary balance of backgrounds and functional expertise.

RESIDENCY IMMERSIONS
New Harmony

Year Two Launch
Your second year in the Executive Edge track begins with two long weekends in Nashville, where you will begin immersing yourself in more strategic curriculum and preparing for your capstone experiences.
International Residency
