Students, alumni and faculty

The quality of an executive MBA program depends not only on its curriculum and faculty but also on its participants.  Even though much of the content is taught either by faculty or via books and other learning materials, the exchange with fellow students is a crucial point and marks approximately 1/3 of the learnings.  

Learning from peers takes place both in discussions and interactions during the lessons as well as in project work that is done at home.  During the program, students work in different teams over a certain period of time. Additionally, each class is joined by the parallel U.S. EMBA class at different occasions.  

Once students are graduated, they apply the gained knowledge in their work environment.  Many graduates move on after the program completion, both within and without the company they were with at the beginning.  To keep the network, graduates have the chance to participate in the alumni association.

Since learning from peers doesn't suffice alone, faculty plays a major role in a further education.  The courses of the Rochester-Bern Executive MBA Program are therefore taught by outstanding members of the academia who also have a wide range of experiences in industry and consulting.
