A resource for growing talented leaders
Companies turn to the UW Executive MBA Program to help prepare capable managers and executives for greater leadership roles within their organizations. Sponsors find that supporting participation in the program helps them attract, retain and promote talented employees.

A strong return on investment
The ROI from sponsoring an employee in the EMBA Program is substantial. The educational investment returns better decisions, innovative ideas and refined processes, and integration of new research into company operations. Employees learn to apply new business models, assume greater responsibility and generate improvements, all while continuing to work full time. They collaborate with executives from geographically dispersed locations and varied industries and learn how others handle challenges similar to those your company faces. Employees also gain a broader perspective about the global economic, social and political forces that impact your industry and organization.

Consider these advantages:

• The MBA degree develops leadership potential and promotes upward mobility.
• Skilled executives offer strategic value to companies looking for growth opportunities.
• Minimal time away from the office (class sessions average two to three work days per month).
• Students have access to some of the top faculty in the country as well as cutting-edge business research.

Sponsor involvement
The Executive MBA Program recognizes the substantial investment that organizations make when they sponsor a student in the program. Sponsors are invited to attend class sessions or hear guest speakers. They also receive updates about new developments in the program.
