EMBA Testimonials
“The structure and design of the EMBA program offered me a top level education while granting me the ability to understand and manage complex managerial and financial issues within a domestic and global setting. The completion of my MBA is one of my greatest personal achievements that will pay dividends for years to come.“

"The EMBA program at UTC provided me with the opportunity to learn from a group of professors and peers, each with a diverse background. The experience has further enhanced me both professionally and personally by giving complete knowledge of all functions of business and a group of people who I can lean on for support. The experience was invaluable and I recommend it to anyone interested in taking on the challenge, the reward is well worth it!"

"I had frequently heard statements like "they just don't not know what they don't know". It was a quaint phrase; easily dismissed with a smile. The UTC EMBA program changed that for me - now it carries an unsettling undertone of seriousness. The program brought me new awareness of business issues, concepts, and tools that I had not been applying. Overall strategy and tactical planning, marketing, entrepreneurial processes, financing, managerial accounting and metrics, and powerful tools like IS and statistics. I had survived so far by luck - lucky that my competitors did not know what I did not know. Thanks to UTC I am now tremendously better equipped to compete - and my competitors are not so lucky anymore."

"Deciding to apply for the UTC EMBA program was a very tough decision for me, it was one that I have never regretted. The combination of reading text books, listening to lectures, and discussing issues with top professors and fellow students made my EMBA experience challenging, enjoyable, and extremely rewarding. The class discussions were not just theory as when I was getting my undergraduate degree; they were issues that I deal with every day. I made friends that I still talk to about business issues that I face in my job. Based on conversations with friends and colleagues who have attended other EMBA programs in this area, the UTC program is unmatched in the quality education and experience. "

"As I look back on this program I am amazed at how much we have grown and matured in our learning, our outlook, and our perception of our potential in the vast global world that we live in...Even more amazing is how what we have learned will impact us for decades. In addition to the educational impact lies the personal impact the professors and our cohort will have on our lives."
