HEADER: Study Groups
"Study groups play a critical role in the program. My group had eight people, and was very diverse and highly international. The way we learned was different, and each person’s way of looking at the world was different. It was very stimulating. "

Study groups form an important link in your EMBA education. Working often at a distance, you develop skills in virtual teaming, vital in today’s global business environment. Your approaches and solutions are subjected to critical questioning by experienced peers. You may bring expertise to the table in one class, but rely on the experience or inside knowledge of another student in the next. Members divide responsibility for group projects and negotiate varying workloads, helping each other balance educational demands with their work and personal responsibilities. The team gels, and the mutual support creates a bond that, for many, lasts far beyond graduation.

Manage coursework with help from your study team
Tap into the professional expertise of your study group members to complete projects and make the most of the EMBA learning experience. Study groups of five to seven students work together to master course teachings, conduct research, direct large projects and provide mutual support. Many graduates cite the study team experience as one of the most valuable aspects of the program.

Visit a class and you will have the opportunity to meet with current students and their team members. Call (206) 685-1333 or toll free, 888-622-3932 for more information.
