Admission is now open for The University of Texas at Tyler's newest master of business administration degree program, Dr. James Lumpkin, College of Business and Technology dean, announced.

With a specialized concentration in healthcare management, this executive MBA program is designed for professionals with at least three years of managerial work experience. EMBA students are engaged through an accredited 36-hour curriculum across six semesters in a face-to-face cohort model.

"In our EMBA program, students will gain a practical understanding of the major facets of business operations along with applications of business in the healthcare field," said Kerrie Anne Clark, program director. "The program's executive cohort delivery model enhances the overall experience in the classroom through engagement among working professionals. This level of experience creates a dynamic and skilled learning environment."

Cost, which is all-inclusive and paid over time, includes tuition, student access fees, textbooks, meals during program meetings and graduation regalia. Financial aid is available. Application deadline is Nov. 1, 2016. The first cohort – to begin Spring 2017 – is limited to 25 students.

A $1,000 nonrefundable acceptance fee is due at the time of admission to hold a seat in the program. This fee is applied toward the overall program cost.

Classes meet every other weekend throughout the spring and fall semesters on Friday evenings and Saturdays until 4 p.m. During the summer semesters, the cohort meets two weekends in a row followed by a week off. This delivery format yields minimal interference with a working professional's weekly schedule while allowing for a balanced home life on the weekends, Clark added.
