"The EMBA program at Kent provided me with knowledge that was immediately useful in my job, and it also helped move my career forward. The EMBA at Kent is not merely rooted in theory. The professors direct the courses in a way where concepts are applied directly to business situations that the EMBA student is presently dealing with. The student also benefits from applying classroom concepts to business simulations and business & economic situations currently making news."
