"EMBA students are a high-energy, take charge group. I most enjoy the active interchange between student and teacher and among the students. At the end of a good class I feel we have all learned a lot."

WORLD CLASS FACULTY SHAPE THE EXPERIENCE

The reputation of the Michael G. Foster School of Business is built on the credentials and expertise of its exceptional faculty

Recognized for both their academic accomplishments and extensive "real world" and consulting experience, faculty members are selected for their desire and ability to teach highly motivated, experienced professionals.

Executive MBA Professors employ a variety of teaching methods that

•    Bring current business issues into the classroom
•    Offer thought-provoking lectures
•    Encourage discussions
•    Focus on practical solutions as well as theory and strategy

Known for their accessibility, faculty members remain in frequent contact with Executive MBA students by:

•    Connecting with students one-on-one after class
•    Meeting with Study Groups
•    Joining students on the optional International Study Seminar
•    Offering optional Help Sessions on weeknights for classes

Teaching assistants are also available to assist individual students or provide support to study groups but all classes are taught by faculty members.


Meet the Foster School’s Distinguished Faculty.
Kristena Louie, Class of 2007The faculty is wonderful! There’s a mutual respect between the faculty and students.
We got to travel with them in South America—they are like our peers even though we still have a professor-student relationship.
