Hi all, I received an invitation for the EMBA program to the University of Pittsburgh. My situation is that I am currently in a non management senior position and EMBA's are traditionally marketed for people that are already in leadership roles and want to increase the skill. My question is, What is the outlook of an EMBA graduate in the job market? Do people care, is there support for the university for placement, etc.

My two cents here: if you are doing an MBA to learn about business, then do it, but if you are doing it to switch to management positions, then don't do it. It will not help.

MBAs outside of the top B schools may not have the ROI to make it worth while.

No one will know that it’s an EMBA. But don’t pay 100k for that.

Can you list out those top tier B schools? Or an url where they list it which is trustworthy?

Yah man hate to say but I don’t think this program means much to folks on here at least
