Student Experience

Personalized leadership development within a high-caliber cohort

The Evening Executive MBA offers students in proximity to Chapel Hill the consistent structure of weekly in-person class meetings, a hyperlocal cohort and a unique collaborative learning culture.

Build a powerful, local network.

The Evening Executive MBA offers a substantial advantage over traditional part-time programs: a cohort model that ensures you’ll build significant, valuable relationships across the North Carolina business community. As you move through the program together, these connections will both broaden and deepen your learning experience, and give you a core network of sharp-minded executives you can collaborate with for life. Not only will your connections be an important resource for you, but they may provide your organization with valuable new resources as well, as possible clients, investors or suppliers.

Stay on track with weekly class meetings.

The Evening Executive MBA is designed for students who thrive on regular contact with faculty and classmates. Weekly evening class meetings will keep you engaged, accountable and making progress toward your objectives. One of the benefits of this structured class schedule is how cohesive coursework and group projects become – you’ll find it makes integrating your studies into your busy life very manageable.
