ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

38 How to Apply

Today’s most successful and influential leaders have a deep

appreciation for global perspectives. They recognize that leading and

managing organizations across mature and emerging economies

bring unparalleled challenges and new market opportunities. Such

leaders understand the importance of meaningful professional

growth as they lead their organizations in the complex and

demanding global business arena.

W E L C O M E

At Georgetown University’s McDonough School

of Business, we design our Executive Education

degree programs with this in mind — to give

professionals a distinct career advantage and

a worthwhile return on investment.

Executives graduate from our programs with a

rich understanding of business and strategy

in a global context, lifetime access to some of

the world’s most respected leaders, and an

unforgettable educational experience.

G L O B A L M I N D S E T

Our programs prepare professionals to lead in an

increasingly competitive global marketplace. You

who understand the nuances of international

business. You will learn from your peers —

promising professional leaders from around the

world who bring global experiences and insights

to class discussions and projects. In addition, the

world will become your classroom as you embark

on transformational educational experiences in

business hubs around the globe.

L I F E L O N G L E A R N I N G

At Georgetown McDonough, we believe that

leaders never graduate. This thinking has inspired

the creation of our Lifelong Learning initiative,

which supports our students’ professional and

personal growth for a lifetime.

After you finish your degree, you will have an

open invitation to return to our classrooms to

refresh your knowledge and reconnect with

faculty. In addition, you will gain access to a wide,

growing network of distinguished Georgetown

alumni and faculty from around the world who

Shye Gilad (EMBA ’12) CEO, ProJet Aviation

The Georgetown McDonough School of Business appealed to me because of its focus on international business, leadership, and entrepreneurism. I was drawn to the Executive MBA program because I wanted to be surrounded by peers who had a strong practical background in business, and I saw the passion of professors and students I met with on campus.

The faculty are insightful, diverse, and challenging. The quality of the professors was exception-al, as was their general willingness to work with us beyond the classroom. I took the Mergers and Acquisitions course just as my company was evaluating the acquisition of a competitor. Professor Gary Blemaster pro-vided me with insights that helped us value the deal and make key assumptions that led to a successful acquisition.

The cohort experience was the most amazing part of the program. Over the course of two years you really get to learn about your fellow students, and the diversity and quality of the student mix were continuously inspiring. To get so many critical and valid points of view really expands your mind and challenges your own views. I made many lasting friend-ships and have developed a personal “board of directors” who I trust will challenge me and deliver critical insights whenever I call.

I know I’m a more effective leader.I have learned to listen better and listen longer. I have more self-confidence that comes from greater knowledge about my career and my role in business. And I have gained an even greater respect for the incredible challenges that humans face.

“ The EMBA curriculum,

by design, emphasizes

and affirms our global

business focus, presence in

Washington, D.C., and our

belief in a transformational

business education.”

– Bardia Kamrad, Professor of Operations and Information Management

Georgetown McDonough offers a world-class Executive MBA (EMBA)

that accommodates the fast-paced schedule of today’s busy executive.

E X E C U T I V E M B A

This intensive 20-month course of study focuses

on core business disciplines, including accounting,

management, and marketing. Conducted on

Fridays and Saturdays of alternating weeks,

the EMBA program includes classes taught in

cohorts designed to strengthen interpersonal

relationships and sharpen business acumen.

The dynamic curriculum continually evolves

to keep students challenged and engaged. In

addition, two international and two domestic

week-long residencies immerse students in

real-world business projects. During the last of

these, the Global Capstone Residency, teams

of students study the impact of globalization

in a foreign country at the national, industry,

and firm levels and present their findings at a

Capstone Weekend.

EMBA classes are led by experienced faculty

who offer practical and applicable knowledge

and who are equally committed to our students

as mentors beyond the classroom. Students in

the program span a wide range of industries

and functional areas, and our executive

development resources help provide a personal

and professional transformation experience for

all students.

I N T E R N AT I O N A L R E C O G N I T I O N

Georgetown McDonough consistently is listed

among the world’s best Executive MBA programs.

In 2013, Businessweek ranked the EMBA program

18th overall and 15th in the United States.

Financial Times ranked the EMBA program

No. 5 among stand-alone United States programs

and No. 1 in the United States for the percentage

an alumnus’ salary increased three years after

graduation. The program also ranked third for

international course experience and 10th for salary.

Kathleen Wolff (EMBA ’12) Founder and CEO, TouchDome LLC

Georgetown McDonough’s Executive MBA program is among the most prestigious in the country, with committed alumni, a stellar faculty, and a focus on global business. Its location in the nation’s capital made it all the more appealing to me.

My degree has enabled me to think more strategically. The EMBA program faculty is simply superb. With the education and insights I gained from my professors and in my courses, I have been able to lay the foundation for my company’s growth.

My residency in India helped me under-stand more about social impact investing. Our assignment was to help a client develop a social impact fund to benefit India’s most impoverished people at the base of the economic pyramid. Learning the dynamics of marketing in this developing economy offered fascinating insights. My company will target developing markets in the future.

The friendships continue to this day. The cohort experience is a bonding one, and each of us contributed our unique skills in group assignments. We were all tested to the limit, and in the process we learned to support one another. We also know each other’s families and kids and respect each other’s dreams.

“ What makes the Georgetown

EMBA experience great is the

amount of learning that occurs

within a relatively short

period of time. You will find

that the student experience is

characterized by a high level

of involvement and interaction

between students and

professors, and among the

students themselves.”

– Arthur Dong, Teaching Professor of Strategy

Integral to the Executive MBA experience is the rare opportunity

to recalibrate your career plan. Georgetown McDonough is committed

to helping students retool, maximize their high potential, and cultivate

greater stature as business leaders.

Strategic Career Development

We take a strategic approach to students’

candidacy for promotion or job change and

support them with a seven-phase career

development system.

Aligned with that strategy and structured

within the weekend class schedule, our

customized executive seminars will guide

students in transforming their personal brand.

One-on-One Executive Coaching

Our one-on-one executive coaching helps

refine students’ individual stories and craft

specific networking plans. These are confidential

sessions, set on your schedule, to support your

dynamic career circumstances.

Georgetown McDonough Connections

On campus, off campus, online, and around

the world, there are many opportunities for

students to enrich their involvement with

the Hoya network and build upon the

Georgetown association.

databases provide excellent on-demand support.

Industry research, company research, and contact

research are centralized electronically.

Jean Claude Chidiac (EMBA ’12) Vice President, Strategic Development CACI International Inc.

I chose Georgetown because of its reputation of academic excellence, international brand recognition, quality of international residencies, top-tier faculty, and proximity to my residence and my work. Also, the format for the EMBA program was ideal for my busy schedule.

The entire program experience made me better at what I do. Each class challenged me in different ways, from leveraging the techniques and frame-works in preparing multi-year business strategies to interpreting financial reports and making better forward-looking decisions based on them. I also find myself constantly going back to materials from the strategy and marketing classes.

I leaned on the excellent case-based knowledge foundation to tackle a major downturn in my own industry. Learning how other industries and leaders were able to survive and thrive in extremely challenging markets was seminal to me in helping my company survive and penetrate new markets during the downturn in federal contracting we experienced in the past few years.

The EMBA program is probably the best investment you can make in yourself at this point in your career. The program provided me with perspective I needed to more effectively engage with other executives and, best of all, gave me a network of close advisors from the cohort on whom I can always rely for advice and input.

What are the qualifications for admission

to the program?

Applicants should possess a minimum of eight

years of work experience and demonstrate poten-

tial for leadership. We seek mid- to senior-level

professionals who endeavor to enrich the business

environment and who represent a variety of na-

tionalities, backgrounds, and industries. Interna-

tional experience is preferred but not required.

What degree do I earn upon completion

of the program?

EMBA graduates receive a Master of

Business Administration.

Is the EMBA program accredited?

Yes, it is accredited by the Association to Advance

Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Are GMAT or GRE scores required for

admission to the EMBA program?

No. Neither GMAT nor GRE scores are required

for admission. The Admissions Committee

does reserve the right to request a score to better

evaluate an applicant’s quantitative skills.

Must students be employed full time?

We expect students to hold full-time employ-

ment throughout the program. As members

of an executive learning community, students

bring real-world experience into the classroom

and are able to immediately apply academic

concepts in their workplaces. However, in most

cases the Admissions Committee will review

and consider applicants who currently do not

hold full-time positions.

Do I have to be sponsored by my employer?

As part of the application process, applicants are

required to submit an employer letter of support

sponsoring the students’ time commitment, includ-

ing time off from work to complete the program. A

template for this can be found on the online applica-

tion. Although some students are partially or fully

financially sponsored by their employers, financial

sponsorship is not a requirement.

May I apply for deferral if admitted?

Students who are admitted to the program may

apply for a deferral for up to one academic year.

Deferrals are granted on a case-by-case basis by

the Admissions Committee once the admitted

student submits a formal written request.

When is a TOEFL score required?

A TOEFL score is required for students who are

non-native English speakers, for students who

have not completed a degree in a university

where English is the primary language of instruc-

tion, or for students who have not worked in an

English-speaking country or organization for at

least three years.

Most applicants who take the TOEFL will take

the internet-based test. A minimum score of 100 is

required. For those who take the paper-based test, a

minimum score of 600 is required. As an alternative

to the TOEFL, we accept International English Lan-

guage Testing System (IELTS) results. We require

a minimum score of 7.5 out of 10 on the academic

module and accept only academic module results.

A C A D E M I C S & C U R R I C U L U M

How is the EMBA program different

from McDonough’s Full-time or Evening

MBA programs?

The EMBA program is tailored for mid- to

senior-level managers across diverse industries.

The Office of Executive Education delivers the

EMBA curriculum in an alternating weekend

format, which allows students to maintain

their current employment and a manageable

work/life balance.

What is the duration of the EMBA program?

The Executive MBA program spans 20 consecu-

tive months, beginning in August each year on

an alternating weekend format that includes four

one-week residencies.

What is the size of a typical EMBA cohort?

Fifty students make up a typical EMBA cohort.

How are the courses taught?

Individual faculty members deliver course con-

tent using different approaches, including case

studies, lectures, experiential learning, simula-

tions, and group projects. Teamwork is empha-

sized throughout the program.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S : E X E C U T I V E M B A

Are any EMBA courses completed online?

No. Classes meet at Georgetown University’s

McDonough School of Business on the main

campus, located in Washington, D.C.

Do I need to supply my own course materials?

No. The program provides students with all

course materials in advance of each course.

How many hours per week should I

expect to work on course preparation

outside the classroom?

Students report spending an average of

20 hours per week on coursework outside

of the classroom.

Can I have a concentration or major?

EMBA students may not identify a concentration

or a major but have opportunities to tailor their

study based on options available through the

program’s electives, a global capstone residency,

and research.

T U I T I O N & F I N A N C I A L A I D

How is tuition billed?

Tuition is billed on a per-credit rate across five

tuition installments. Course materials, meals,

hotel accommodations for off-campus residen-

cies, and parking are included.

What process should I follow if my employer

has agreed to provide full or partial financial

sponsorship for my degree?

Candidates who are receiving full or partial

financial sponsorship from their employers

should report this information on their applica-

tion forms. In addition, applicants may set up

third-party billing on their student accounts so

their company sponsors can be billed directly for

full or partial tuition payments.

Does the Office of Executive Education provide

scholarships for degree program students?

Each program offers scholarship opportunities

based on eligibility. Self-sponsored applicants are

encouraged to include a scholarship essay with

their applications. Applicants are notified of schol-

arship awards upon admission to the program.

Is financial aid available?

Financial aid is available from several federal

student loan and employment programs, often

referred to as “Title IV” assistance. These pro-

grams include the Federal Direct Subsidized/

Unsubsidized Loan and Perkins Loan programs,

and the Federal Work-Study program. Eligibility

for these programs is dependent on demonstrated

financial need. For more information, visit

http://finaid.georgetown.edu.

What educational benefits are available for

veterans?

A range of educational benefits is available to

veterans. Georgetown’s McDonough School

of Business is a proud member of the Yellow

Ariel Batungbacal (EML ’12) White House Fellow ’12 - ’13, U.S. Air Force

The most influential aspect of the EML program was the chance to study executive- level leadership in a world-class program that values diverse experiences within a cohort. The faculty have a strong mix of professional and academic experience, which offers a blended, sophisticated education.

My cohort experience was extraordinarily rich and meaningful and created a broad network of relation-ships that have surpassed graduation. This is the point, though, right? A cohort of smart, diverse personalities and experiences to deepen learning opportunities and broaden our professional network, all for practical application.

Residencies deepened my cohort’s relationships. They provided a concentrated, extended period away from distractions like email to dive deep into leadership challenges.

This is a personal investment into yourself as a leader. When you are ready to brush off your trusted leadership tools and are open to acquiring new ones that may challenge how you lead — do it. Be all in, be present, and be ready for a life-enhancing experience!

“ As part of Georgetown

University, the McDonough

School of Business is committed

to the whole person: as indi-

viduals who are intellectual,

social, spiritual, emotional, and

physical beings. Many of the

professionals who complete

the EML program describe it

as life-transforming. And I can

tell you that teaching in the

program — and learning along

with students — has been

transforming for me.”

– Lamar Reinsch, Professor of Management and Former Academic Director, Executive Master’s in Leadership Program

Georgetown McDonough offers a distinctive Executive Master’s in

Leadership (EML) program for executives aiming to advance their lead-

ership skills and gain a deeper understanding of management strategy.

This 13-month course of study integrates

practical management skills and advanced

leadership theory to enable students to effect

change within their organizations. The EML

curriculum trains business leaders to:

1) Identify where their organization stands in

relation to the current global environment;

2) Anticipate how the future is likely to unfold;

3) Best position their organization for future

success; and

4) Influence others to support advancement

toward successful outcomes.

Distinguished Georgetown faculty create a rich

experience for EML students with a combination

of coursework and three residencies, including

one consulting project conducted abroad. Each

residency is carefully designed to challenge

students to integrate and apply experience

and learning in simulated and actual

leadership scenarios.

L E A D E R S H I P C O A C H I N G

The EML program offers one-on-one coaching

to help students maximize their potential,

improve performance, and increase productivity.

EML coaches respond to student concerns,

helping to assess their abilities and goals and

to develop specific action plans to advance

those goals.

All EML coaches have completed Georgetown

University’s Leadership Coaching Certification

program and are experienced in coaching

executives across many industries and

functional areas.


Gerald Bruce (EML ’12) Vice President of Sales, Nutricia North America

The Georgetown McDonough EML program, with its focus on leadership, was the best fit for me. It was my goal to become more effective as a leader and, as a leader of leaders, to enhance the leadership skills of the managers that report to me in my organization.

The diversity of experiences and perspectives made for stimulating discussions in each and every class. The student collaboration and discussions led to friendships and associations that will go forward well beyond the program. The residencies also were valuable because, in many ways, they were an extension of the discussions we had in class.

My favorite class was the one in which we developed our personal leadership action plan. The course helped me gain a better understanding of what I do when I am at my personal best and develop a plan to focus on those behaviors on a consistent basis. I continue to get enormous benefit from my personal leadership action plan.

22

The EML curriculum is

organized around themes of

leading teams and organizations,

tools for leadership, and looking

to the future. Courses are designed

to be sequential, building on

specific topic areas to develop

deep understanding that

can be applied immediately to

the workplace.

P R O J E C T S P O T L I G H T:

R E C Y C L I N G I N S O U T H A F R I C A

As part of their summer 2013 global residency, three

EML students transformed a resource center

in a poverty-stricken township of South Africa

into a new recycling facility in the center of the

community.

Cherian Thomas, Tim Powers, and Ted Fahy

encouraged entrepreneurship in Langa Township

by educating the community on the value of waste.

With a mission to improve the local economy, the

students felt it was imperative to teach through

example. They partnered with local recycling

companies to educate the community on recycled

commodities.

Moved by Langa’s staggering unemployment rate

of more than 50 percent and challenging health

issues such as HIV and AIDS, the students saw the

opportunity to help rejuvenate and improve the

quality of life in the area.

With industry insight and relevant professional

experience, the students pursued a partnership

opportunity with Sappi Southern Africa, part

of Sappi Limited, a global leader in pulp and

paper headquartered in South Africa. Sappi

Southern Africa provided expertise and

assisted in coordinating the infrastructure

for the HLAZA (Green) Innovation Center, a

renovated buyback center where local residents

sell their recyclables at fair market value for the

respective recyclable commodity that they have

collected. The more recyclables that collectors

secure on a daily basis, the more they ultimately

will earn.

The team constructed a blueprint for a fully

functional waste collection company and

selected a local entrepreneur to oversee the

center. To ensure the sustainability of this new

venture, the Georgetown students are working

with Sappi ReFibre, K & C Waste, CONSOL,

PETCO, and Collect-A-Can to serve as the

primary buyers of the recovered material.

Once the commodities are sorted at the HLAZA

Innovation Center, each buyer will collect

recycled commodities — benefiting residents,

businesses, and the overall environment.

L E A D I N G A R O U N D T H E W O R L D

Each EML global residency begins on campus with lectures and discussions that produce a better

understanding of the history, culture, and leadership challenges at the site of the international residency.

In addition, students begin working on a leadership-focused consulting project for a client in the host

country. The experience culminates in a one-week, international residency where student teams present

recommendations to the client and participate in academic and cultural experiences.

Declan J. Lynch (EML ’11) Lead Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton

Having been in the United States Marine Corps and having served as a leadership instructor to newly commissioned officers, the concepts of leadership were significantly important to me. I enrolled in the Georgetown McDonough EML program because it was what I was looking for in a graduate program — a focus on how to achieve professional success in myriad types of organizations and not just in corporate America.

The EML coursework was relevant to my career, and my career enriched my coursework. Taking such fantastic courses with great instructors while still working full time creates a vibrant classroom environment with invaluable discussions with classmates and peers.

The concept of self-awareness was critical to understanding my own effectiveness as a professional. This continuous process of self-improvement has helped me be a better communicator, a more organized manager, and ultimately a more effective leader to my staff and clients while helping to shape my organization and position it for growth.

I would advise anyone considering the EML program to come to campus and participate in a class. Seeing the quality instruction and the vibrant classroom environment as well as the high-caliber cohort of students will help you understand the great value of the program and how it can be a great fit for your own personal and professional development.

Georgetown McDonough EML students are accomplished business leaders from diverse locations and

industries in the United States and around the world, and their experiences broaden the education of

their peers. Below is a snapshot of a typical EML class.

EML graduates receive a master’s in

leadership degree.

Is the EML program accredited?

Yes, it is accredited by the Association to Advance

Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Are GMAT or GRE scores required for

admission to the EML program?

No. Neither GMAT nor GRE scores are required

for admission to the EML program.

Must students be employed full time?

We expect students to hold full-time employment

throughout the program. As members of an

executive learning community, students bring

real-world experience into the classroom and

are able to immediately apply academic

concepts in their workplaces. However, in

most cases the Admissions Committee will

review and consider applicants who currently

do not hold full-time positions.

Do I have to be sponsored by my employer?

As part of the application process, applicants

are required to submit an employer letter of

support sponsoring the students’ time commit-

ment, including time off from work to complete

the program. A template for this can be found on

the online application. Although some students

are partially or fully financially sponsored by

their employers, financial sponsorship is not

a requirement.

May I apply for deferral if admitted?

Students who are admitted to the program may

apply for a deferral for up to one academic year.

Deferrals are granted on a case-by-case basis by

the Admissions Committee once the admitted

student submits a formal written request.

When is a TOEFL score required?

A TOEFL score is required for students who are

non-native English speakers, for students who

have not completed a degree in a university

where English is the primary language of in-

struction, or for students who have not worked

in an English-speaking country or organization

for at least three years.

Most applicants who take the TOEFL will take

the internet-based test. A minimum score of 100

is required. For those who take the paper-based

test, a minimum score of 600 is required. As an

alternative to the TOEFL, we accept International

English Language Testing System (IELTS) results.

We require a minimum score of 7.5 out of 10 on

the academic module and accept only academic

module results. Visit www.ielts.org for more infor-

mation about IELTS registration.

all day Saturday every other weekend. There are

three required residencies: two domestic and one

global. Each residency lasts three to seven days.

What is the size of a typical EML cohort?

An Executive Master’s in Leadership cohort is

approximately 30 students.

tions, and group projects. Teamwork is empha-

sized throughout the program.

28

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S : E M L

Do I need to supply my own course materials?

No. The program provides students with all

course materials in advance of each course.

How many hours per week should I

expect to work on course preparation

outside the classroom?

Students report spending an average of

20 hours per week on coursework outside

of the classroom.

What does a global residency entail?

Student consulting teams work together to solve

pressing leadership and management problems

facing foreign organizations or Fortune 500

companies with operations overseas. At the end of

the course, the cohort travels abroad to the clients’

facilities to finalize their projects and present

recommendations to senior leadership. In recent

years, EML students have traveled to Cape Town,

South Africa.

T U I T I O N & F I N A N C I A L A I D

How is tuition billed?

Tuition is billed on a per-credit rate across four

tuition installments. Course materials, meals, hotel

accommodations for off-campus residencies, and

parking are included.

What process should I follow if my employer has

agreed to provide full or partial financial spon-

sorship for my degree?

Candidates who are receiving full or partial

financial sponsorship from their employers should

report this information on their application forms.

In addition, applicants may set up third-party

billing on their student accounts so their company

sponsors can be billed directly for full or partial

tuition payments.

Does the Office of Executive Education provide

scholarships for degree program students?

Each program offers scholarship opportunities

based on eligibility. Self-sponsored applicants are

encouraged to include a scholarship essay with

their applications. Applicants are notified of schol-

arship awards upon admission to the program.

Is financial aid available?

Financial aid is available from several federal

student loan and employment programs, often

referred to as “Title IV” assistance. These

programs include the Federal Direct Subsidized/

Unsubsidized Loan and Perkins Loan programs,

and the Federal Work-Study program. Eligibility

for these programs is dependent on demonstrated

financial need. For more information, visit

http://finaid.georgetown.edu.

What educational benefits are available for

veterans?

A range of educational benefits is available to

veterans. Georgetown’s McDonough School

of Business is a proud member of the Yellow

Ribbon Program, which allows Georgetown to

expand its financial commitment to veterans by

extending education benefits above and beyond

those provided by the Montgomery GI Bill.

Eligibility for the benefit is determined by

Veterans Affairs and is limited to veterans who

served in the armed forces after September 10, 2001.

Philip A. Njowusi (GEMBA ’12) Managing Partner, Pan Services

I needed a business management program with global perspectives and the opportunity to interact with other executives. I also needed a program that would fit my schedule and my obligation of managing an existing business.

As someone who started a business without a formal business education, I was looking to transform my skills. I applied what I learned in class to manage my company’s cross-continental project teams and sharply improve our delivery processes. We now confidently look at global opportunities and recently added a team in Europe for a development project located in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The residencies gave us a global learning experience. We experienced other economies and cultures, and we made day-to-day operational observations that enabled us to become more adaptable in real-life situations.

I am now better informed and more open-minded. The program has been a transformational experience that has reaffirmed my confidence and provided a global network of friends and business associates.

Codie Sanchez Baker (CIM ’14) Vice President - Institutional Sales Director, State Street Global Advisors

I enrolled in the Corporate International Master’s (CIM) program because my busi-ness is globalizing, and I was intrigued by the growth opportunity in Latin America.

The CIM program is not a classmate-vs.-classmate environment. As executives, we have enough competition in our day jobs. These professionals understand the truth of being stronger together. But the faculty absolutely make this program. They are awe-inspiringly brilliant, incredible orators, skilled professionals, thoughtful instructors, and incredibly engaged.

I can quantify immediate returns on my education investment. In one class, we did a case study analysis of a large multinational corporation in Mexico. I became intimately familiar with the company structure, global footprint, historical obstacles, and leadership strategy. The following week I was at a conference in Santiago and met the firm’s CFO. I was able to offer a few insights the class provided me, and now my company has an open opportunity to submit an investment proposal that could equate to millions in revenue.

If you are considering this program, I would say jump in head first. It’s a chance to be at a premier institution that sits in the crux of global policy in tandem with a renowned school in Europe with long-standing connections and a top school in Brazil, which is an economy many are eager to penetrate.
