An EMBA Tailored for the 21st Century

Leadership is evolving.

Digital transformation is more than the adoption of technology and data across business and society. Innovation and disruption are not driven by access to technology, but how we make use of it.    

At DeGroote, we believe leaders need to be human in their approach but also digitally and data literate. Instincts paired with analytical thinking create a new generation of leaders able to make better, more informed decisions.   

The Executive MBA in Digital Transformation at the DeGroote School of Business will provide you with the tools, resources, and knowledge to develop as a leader who will be equipped to answer the challenges of our everyday world. 

What to Expect

DeGroote’s Executive MBA in Digital Transformation identifies future disruptors. 

Over 14 months we will provide you with the tools, resources, and knowledge to develop as a leader who will contribute and grow the expanding digital economy. Course material is delivered online and is built around four in-person residencies throughout the program. 

If you have questions or concerns about the admission process, curriculum, or the program experience, we encourage you to read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

The EMBA program starts in July and concludes in September of the following year. There are four residencies throughout the program, each running for 8-12 consecutive days. Residencies take place in September, February, May, and September (of the following year).

Residencies take place at the Ron Joyce Centre campus in Burlington, Ontario, with one residency in Silicon Valley, California. Work is conducted virtually between residencies. 

DeGroote provides every EMBA student with one-on-one coaching as part of our Personal Leadership Effectiveness program. You will enter this program as a high performer in your current role. You will emerge as a leader prepared to handle the challenges and opportunities of a digital future.

One of the best ways to learn more about our EMBA program is to meet the people who are either in, or have completed, the program. Read interviews with our current students.

Our Students and Alumni

An EMBA is more than a degree you receive. It is about the opportunities you experience along the way and the lifelong friendships and network you build that will always be there for you.

At DeGroote, we value engagement and ensure that every student is part of a broader professional community.
