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:
“She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
