McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA: 5 years of impact on senior managers
April 3, 2014
The McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA celebrated its 5th anniversary in late March, saluting five years of meeting the development needs of experienced managers and giving them the tools to lead with impact. A total of 182 managers have now graduated from the joint program.
To mark this anniversary, McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA alumni affinity groups were launched, as a way of creating connections between the graduates from the different program cohorts, according to their fields of interest.
Note that participants remain in their jobs throughout the 15 months of the program. Classes typically meet Thursday through Sunday, once a month, with two residential modules of 7 and 10 days. The second residential module takes place abroad.
Reflecting the reality of Canadian business, the program is delivered in a bilingual format. Class presentations and group discussions take place in both French and English. Candidates must be able to understand both languages, but may contribute to discussions and write exams and papers in either English or French.
