I did an MBA a year ago, along side quite a few people doing an EMBA, the difference in my opinion is not in the education, but rather the cost, and accessibility to being able to do it (different structure). I came away thinking the MBA has become a lot more obtainable for a lot of people, and so an EMBA is sounds more exclusive and therefore more “marketable” for c-suite type roles. The main point of difference I found in terms of the learning was that the EMBA had a course on governance whereas my MBA was more leadership and management focused.
Overall, I find that the only people who care if you have an MBA or EMBA’s are other people who have MBA’s.
It’s quite a lot of money to spend on a business status thing. If I was to rewind, I wouldn’t do an MBA at all - I’d do something more focused and hone some more practical, tangible skills like computer science or something.
A lot of the best leaders/managers I have had, have not had business degrees.
