Offering the beneﬁts of face-to-face interaction with the ﬂexibility of online learning, Auburn's EMBA program combines distance learning with a weeklong residency during each of the program's ﬁve semesters. During online courses, students stay connected through virtual classroom discussions and easy access to professors.

Participants average 16 years of industry experience and come from a variety of backgrounds, such as IT, manufacturing, and consulting.
