Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programs, simply put, are MBA programs with a specific focus on executive leadership for experienced professionals and managers. Both MBA and EMBA programs prepare professionals for a deeper understanding of business and management, but the EMBA goes beyond the fundamentals of a normal MBA program. MBA programs focus on a wide range of business skills, whereas EMBA programs hone in on specialized topics such as Strategy Formulation and Organizational Design, Managerial Leadership and Productivity, Leadership Through Big Data Analytics, and Managing Risks in Global Environments.

Tammie Cagle, editor of Online MBA Today, explains that an EMBA is helpful because it directly informs the kinds of decision making processes that business executives are likely to encounter. "Moreover," she explains, "an online EMBA is ideal for a business world saturated with virtual systems. These programs equip leaders to navigate virtual communication successfully." An online EMBA offers a curriculum targeted to business leaders in a flexible format, ideally suited for the busy schedule of a mid-to-high level manager. The ranking of the Top 15 Online Executive MBA degrees will help prospective online EMBA students narrow down their search and take the next step in their career.
