The Johns Hopkins Carey Executive MBA program follows a dynamic, integrated teaching format designed for experienced professionals. Typically, students take three courses simultaneously in each term. The term begins with a three-day in-person residency, during which participants attend intensive, face-to-face sessions for all three courses. Over the next three weeks, learning continues online with each week dedicated to one course, which allows students to immerse themselves fully in each subject. A second three-day residency brings the cohort back together for in-person engagement across all three courses. The term concludes with another three-week online sequence, again focusing on one course per week, reinforcing learning through a balanced blend of collaboration, reflection, and applied practice.
