Executive Education
The Katz Executive MBA (EMBA) Worldwide program provides students with the opportunity to study global business issues on three different continents-with sites in North America (Pittsburgh, Pa.), South America (São Paulo, Brazil), and Europe (Prague, Czech Republic). Students take most of their courses at the site most convenient to them; however, they also participate in three weeklong immersion sessions, called Global Executive Forums, with their EMBA Worldwide classmates at other sites.
There are five education and research centers within Pitt Business. The centers provide some of the latest research on entrepreneurship, international business issues, ethics and leadership, economics and health and care work. Some centers also offer certificate programs which give students additional experience in relevant business issues.

Famous quotes containing the words executive and/or education:
“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“I note what you say of the late disturbances in your College. These dissensions are a great affliction on the American schools, and a principal impediment to education in this country.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
