The Whittemore School's Executive MBA program is held at the Sheraton Harborside Hotel in historic Portsmouth, NH. The only Executive MBA program north of Boston, this fast-paced EMBA targets mid- to senior-level professionals with multiple years of work experience who are looking for a top-level business degree and to expand their network and learn from other professionals.
The program meets on alternating weekends (Friday and Saturday), giving busy professionals time to complete a degree while balancing work and family commitments.
Featuring small class sizes, top-level UNH professors, and peer teamwork, the EMBA encourages stimulating participation and networking opportunities. All students spend Friday nights at the Sheraton to work and study with their teams and attend occasional speaking events. EMBA students also participate in a 10-day off-campus spring residency abroad as part of the International Management course.
The Whittemore School is AACSB-accredited and is an active founding member of the Executive MBA Council—the organization that unites Executive MBA programs globally in their mission, direction, and quality.
Named by Forbes Traveler as one of America's prettiest towns, Portsmouth is centrally located on New Hampshire’s Seacoast, just a one-hour drive from the greater Boston area, southern Maine/Portland, and southern New Hampshire/Nashua/Manchester. It is home to nationally acclaimed theatre and musical events, many historic sites and museums, and first-class dining. The National Trust for Historic Preservation called the city "one of the most culturally rich destinations in the country."
