Program Highlights

Ideal for people who want grounding in core business skills while they also pursue an area of passion, the Executive MBA in Europe features a rigorous curriculum.

This program follows a unique format that blends classroom learning with online education and an immersion trip to California, and it can be completed in approximately 15 months. The program starts in February or March in one year and concludes in May the following year:

• Ten weekend courses in Austria in Graz, Vienna, and Linz, including select courses that are partially taught in Austria, and partially in California. Typically, all of these courses are taught over 7 weekends of classroom instructions over approximately 15 months with four of the ten courses partially instructed in Austria, and partially during the immersion trip to California. Students are free to choose the specific location for each weekend.
• Six 8-week online courses using our award-winning e-Learning platform. Online courses are a blend of self-directed learning consisting of readings, case studies, discussion boards, as well as assignments and weekly interactive live sessions with the instructor in California (typically at 19:00 Austrian time on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday).
• 2-week immersion program in California including select coursework, guest speakers, company visits, New Venture Fair / Competition, and leisure activities. At the end of the trip you will participate in the School of Management’s annual graduation banquet and the university’s graduation ceremony.  

All courses are instructed by full-time, part-time, or visiting faculty members. The School of Management at Cal Lutheran is home to a distinguished international faculty who are broadly experienced in a wide array of global private- and public-sector professional environments. The faculty maintain close and practical contact with business, industry, and government.

All graduate faculty have earned advanced educational degrees from highly regarded international institutions of higher learning, and over 90% of our full-time faculty are doctorally qualified.
