Weekend Executive MBA Program

A customizable Executive MBA, built around immersive weekend residencies.

The Weekend Executive MBA program is a transformative leadership experience, optimally designed so you can pursue your MBA while balancing your already busy work and personal life—wherever in the country you may live.

Customize your MBA.

Whether you want to take the shortest path to advancement in your current company, shift roles or industries, land a global assignment or launch your own business, the STEM-designated Weekend Executive MBA program allows you to customize your coursework to suit your particular objectives. Other top business schools simply can’t match the variety and depth of electives and concentrations available at UNC Kenan-Flagler.

Focus on your leadership development.

Distraction-free weekend residencies. Individualized leadership development. Regular career coaching. The Weekend MBA keeps you focused on your next move. From day one, you’ll develop individualized leadership skills you can apply at work immediately. As you progress, you’ll master skills you can use to lead change in your current position, and you’ll develop the kind of leadership self-awareness that will enable you to further define and realize your career goals.

Make lifelong connections.

You’ll move through the program together with a cohort of talented, supportive senior level leaders with a range of backgrounds in a diversity of industries. You’ll build meaningful relationships with your program colleagues and top-tier UNC Kenan-Flagler faculty through collaborative, team-based coursework and built-in opportunities for networking and socializing with peers over class weekends. Your cohort will both broaden and deepen your learning experience and give you a core network of sharp-minded executives you can collaborate with for life.

"I sought an Executive MBA because I wanted to move forward in my career and work on high-level corporate strategy. The strategy and leadership focus made me confident in choosing UNC Kenan-Flagler. The leadership lessons and connections with equally driven classmates made me a better leader as I advanced my career."
