A connected experience for greater impact
The Haskayne Executive MBA is a 16-month, cohort-based program for experienced professionals ready to take on bigger challenges and expand their strategic influence. You will move through an integrated curriculum over four semesters with the same cohort. There are no electives. Instead, each course builds on the last, connecting business knowledge with leadership development and practical application.
That integrated approach carries through the entire program. You’ll learn alongside experienced peers, faculty and influential business leaders, bringing new ideas into the workplace as you develop a broader perspective and the confidence to make decisions in complex business environments.
“I found the EMBA relevant to me because of my experience and where I am in my career. I was also interested in meeting people, learning from their experiences and reflecting on my own.”
Yaser Matar, Executive MBA, Class of 2027
Sample schedule*
Beginning in Winter 2028, you will be able to complete your Executive MBA over four semesters (16 months), with each semester introducing areas of business while building on what you’ve learned before.
Your first semester covers core business disciplines alongside leadership development, with opportunities to put your learning into practice through live business challenges.
In the spring, you’ll develop your skills in negotiation, executive influence and data-driven decision-making, using live cases to work through complex business situations. The third semester moves into strategy, finance, governance and entrepreneurial transformation, with a greater emphasis on executive decision-making.
Your final semester brings it all together through an Executive Project or work with Creative Destruction Lab–Rockies.
