Combining the best of an Ivy League education with a top-ranked international business school, the IE Brown Executive MBA<\/a> is designed to take your career to the next level. The 15-month program strengthens your business foundations to enhance your leadership capacity, helping you achieve the best executive positions in business for long-term success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a curriculum created by impactful leaders at Brown University and IE Business School<\/a>, the program\u2019s signature blended format integrates online sessions with five residential periods in Madrid<\/a>, Providence and Cape Town<\/a>. This hybrid structure allows you to keep up with your professional life as you learn to make a positive impact in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently caught up with alumni Braden Sweet<\/a> and Carlos Moliner<\/a> to hear about how the program transformed their personal and professional lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IE Brown Executive MBA: A unique experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike any other executive program, the IE Brown EMBA<\/a> is designed with you\u2014and a better future\u2014in mind. You will travel to various global hubs, dive into other cultures, tackle real-world projects and meet influential leaders in the business world<\/a>. The first and third residential periods take place in Spain, the second and fifth in the United States, and the fourth will be a business immersion experience in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the online portion of the program, you\u2019ll experience a mix of synchronous and asynchronous video conference lectures and forum discussions. Each lecture lasts around 90 minutes, and you get to learn alongside classmates from around the world. Meanwhile, forum discussions offer a chance to engage in digital conversations with your classmates when it best fits your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hybrid approach<\/a> to learning is what makes the IE Brown Executive MBA stand out. \u201cDuring the online components, I was able to get a fuller picture into someone\u2019s mind,\u201d explains Braden. \u201cBut the residential sessions allowed me to cement these personal and professional connections. I was able to convert peers from just someone I work with to true friends during our time in Cape Town<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Carlos reflects on the value of the blended format, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve built a family. Our cohort is still really tight, and we see each other often. The IE Brown Executive MBA<\/a> has given me a richness in my personal and professional relationships that I haven\u2019t previously had.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
