Hello,

I did not see much articles on experienced professionals here i.e. who has 12+ yrs exp and have made good progress in their career as Manager/Leader but still want to enhance their career. Can someone suggest the top MBA/EMBA programs who are suitable for experienced professionals (Masters, very good GPA, good career path etc)?
I heard MIT Sloan has one program - Fellow in Innovation and Leadership. Does anyone know about that?

Thanks

Most EMBAs are conducted locally as they're designed for people who are still at their jobs. Where do you live? If you're in a major city, there will be tons of options. Kellogg, Wharton, and Haas offer pretty well-known EMBA programs and I think they might even have remote classes in different cities.
