Flexible course choices, flexible timing
A good amount of the program experience consists of elective courses, which FEMBAs have the power to choose and customize according to their interests and needs.
The 27-month program length option allows students to complete the program in the fastest timeline. The 33-month option allows students the flexibility to explore more elective courses as well as specializations. Those needing more time to complete the program because of personal or career reasons can extend their studies and complete the program within five years.
