Transfer and Transient Credit - Students admitted to the Executive MBA Program normally attend full-time. – It is rare that transfer credit can be applied towards the candidate’s EMBA degree because of the cohort, "lock-step" format. Students attend courses as scheduled throughout the five semesters. If a student must drop from the program for personal reasons, he or she must wait one full year before being readmitted.
