The EMBA is a key strategic priority for IMD as it seeks to challenge and inspire business leaders from all over the world. The EMBA offers the academic rigor of a top-ranked degree program anchored in a “real world” context, while also focusing on developing leaders who can have a positive impact on business and society. Program enrolment in 2019 continued to grow for the fifth consecutive year - up 8.5 percent compared to the previous year. Two cohorts, totaling 136 participants, began their learning journey and two other cohorts – 128 participants – graduated. Responding to increased demand and growth potential for its EMBA, IMD will introduce a third cohort of participants, with the new cohort commencing their studies in March 2020.
