Are the Differences Significant?

Schools that offer MBA and EMBA programs confer a Master of Business Administration degree and, on most school transcripts, there is no delineation of the delivery methodology of the program. Despite this, there is considerable misunderstanding concerning the differences between the two programs, particularly with regard to the quality of the education received. This study will look to evaluate the current differences between EMBA and MBA programs and attempt to see if there is any substance to the argument that there are quality differences between the two.
