Executive MBA Program: Teaching Methodology

Our collaborative teaching methods lead to practical business solutions.

INTERACTIVE LEARNING. DYNAMIC INSTRUCTION.

One of the highlights of the Oregon Executive MBA experience is the classroom interaction, where the combination of dynamic instructors and motivated students results in lively, challenging discussions. The Oregon Executive MBA curriculum delivery methods include:

• Short lectures
• Guest speakers
• Classroom discussions
• Business simulations
• Case studies
• Experiential learning

WORK-RELATED PROJECTS. PRACTICAL APPLICATION.

Learning continues beyond the classroom. Most courses include an individual work-related project or analysis paper that anchors the conceptual learning in real-world application. You can immediately turn theoretical knowledge into practical application that benefits your sponsor organization. The second year Capstone Business Project encourages the creation of a business plan or consulting project for your company.

SMALL GROUPS. COLLABORATIVE ASSIGNMENTS.

Small group learning is key to the Oregon Executive MBA experience. Each student takes part in a four- to five-student learning team, which studies together and collaborates on challenging team assignments. Along with small group learning, you will have the opportunity to partner with students outside your learning team.

RIGOROUS ACADEMICS. VARIED METHODS.

Oregon Executive MBA is a rigorous academic program, which requires graded evaluations. Students are evaluated by many methods including:

• Work-related projects
• Analysis papers
• Presentations
• Tests
• Business case analyses
