Cohort Experience
The collaborative and engaged student culture of the MBA program at Texas McCombs is by design. You’ll be placed into a Cohort –a group of ExecutiveMBA peers with whom you’ll navigate the curriculum. The cohort model fosters a shared experience among students and open dialogue within the classroom. -
Study Teams
Within your cohort, you’ll be matched up with a Study Team of 4 to 6 other students in your first year, each of whom bring different backgrounds and strengths to the group. You’ll work together and learn from each other as you tackle class assignments and business challenges.
-
Distinguished Speaker Series
Throughout the year, you’ll have a chance to hear from executives from both the private and public sector as part of our ongoing Executive MBA Speaker Series. These lunchtime events deliver expert insights on a variety of specialized topics. The perspectives that guest speakers bring, plus the interchange of ideas that occurs, add an important, distinct dimension to your MBA education.
