The EMPA course schedule is structured in a way intended to support balance in a student’s life despite its rigor. For the typical student, total weekly time in class, travel, homework, and team collaboration requires between fifteen and twenty hours a week. The curriculum is standardized so that students are in the same classes together throughout the program. Courses include organizational behavior, economics, communication, applied decision analysis, statistics, human resources, and ethics.
Each entering class meets on a different night of the week. The schedule for each entering class is listed below:
- Entering class of 2023 will meet on Thursday nights
- Entering class of 2024 will meet on Wednesday nights
- Entering class of 2025 will meet on Tuesday nights
