The Executive Master’s in Leadership (EML) offers working professionals an in-depth study of the art and science of effective leadership behaviors.
The mission of the Executive Master’s in Leadership (EML) is to develop principled leaders who are steeped in an understanding of scientific process and know how to use evidence to make decisions when confronted with complex problems for themselves, their organizations, and their communities.
EML combines 12 core courses, three residencies (including a global consulting project) and personal coaching to create a challenging and dynamic learning environment. The program is delivered over a 12 month period in a hybrid format.
Program CalendarEML teaches scientifically informed leadership principles and practices, giving our students the necessary skills to separate good data from bad data to be effective decision-makers.
EML AcademicsEML follows a lock-step cohort format, which means that significant learning is also achieved through cohort interaction. Students come from many disciplines and backgrounds: government, military, private sector, Fortune 500, nonprofit, and higher education. This diversity adds to the academic and student experience as well as to our students’ networks.
EML CohortsEML alumni are able to return to the classroom through our Lifelong Learning Program (LLP) and audit up to one elective course per year with our Executive MBA program. This unique Georgetown offering enables EML alumni to refresh their knowledge, reconnect with classmates and faculty, and expand their networks with students and alumni from McDonough’s other executive degree programs.
EML Alumni OpportunitiesThe Executive Master’s in Leadership program builds off of Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business broader reputation for academic excellence, faculty thought leadership, and student satisfaction, as reflected in national and international rankings of our school and programs.
