UTA Executive MBA Scholarship

UTA Executive MBA Scholarship program for Non-profit executives and Community Service Leaders

One of the key benefits that students derive from participation in an Executive MBA program is the peer to peer learning that happens in a diverse classroom. An optimally constructed executive MBA cohort contains students from a broad variety of industries and functional specialties. The students expand their knowledge of management through exposure to these other industries and specialties. This exposure allows students to begin to consider their own management challenges through a variety of different lenses and management practices that expand their understanding of business.
Increasingly, non-profit managers and community leaders have increasingly started to seek the education that an Executive MBA provides. The UTA Executive MBA program seeks to encourage these managers and professions to seek the education that an Executive MBA program provides.
