eCampus Executive MBA (Cohort) The Sorrell College of Business is scheduling an eCampus Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) cohort to begin in August, 2008. This cohort will include a maximum of 30 participants who have been screened for admission based upon their record of managerial experience. The EMBA requires a minimum of 5 years progressive managerial experience prior to admission. Applicants for the EMBA must follow the pre-application screening procedures provided below.The EMBA Cohort The cohort will be limited to participants entering the program as a group in August 2008 and, as indicated above, all participants must meet the progressive managerial experience requirement. This insures that all participants have comparable levels of experience, elevates the level of learning in the program, and facilitates interaction among peers. Students will not be allowed to enter the program after the initial term which begins in August 2008. Should a student not enroll in the designated class for one or more terms after entering the program, the student will not be allowed to enroll in any additional courses in this cohort and will be dropped from the program. eCampus EMBA Pre-application Screening Procedures Prior to a prospective student making application to the Troy University Graduate School it is necessary that the applicant provide documentation of academic credentials and work experience. This can be accomplished by completing the EMBA Experience Form and forwarding to troymba@troy.edu along with a detailed resume, unofficial transcripts and a letter of reference that provides documentation of your experience, your oral and written communication skills, and addresses your ability to do graduate work. When your file is complete, you will be notified of your pre-admission status. Upon notification of meeting the experience requirement, the applicant should then initiate the formal application procedures for admission to the Troy University Graduate School. For graduate admission procedures go to http://www.troy.edu/ecampus/gradmissionrequirements.htm. The graduate application is contained at https://it.troy.edu/admit_grad/GradAppeCampus.htm.
