One of most unique features of an EMBA from Katz is the Global Executive Forum concept - there are three international immersion sessions with other students of the University from all over the world, conducted in North America, Europe, and South America, held at the beginning, mid-point, and end of your program of study. Each of these Global Executive Forums lasts between 1 to 2 weeks.

The Global Executive Forums allow EMBA Worldwide students to understand cross-cultural management, gain first-hand insights into international business practices, and network with fellow managers from around the world.

Before and after your sessions, you are in electronic, telephone, and video conferencing communication with your faculty and classmates, receiving materials and assignments, and getting their help and feedback on the course work you are doing. You’re also in frequent contact with your study group to complete group projects and assignments.

Students enrolled at EMBA Prague take all of their classes in the Czech Republic, unless otherwise noted.
