Virtual Tuesdays: Adding Online Classes to a Traditional Executive MBA Program

The executive MBA (EMBA) program at Questrom School of Business has traditionally been an in-person, Boston-based program at Boston University. In an effort to provide more flexibility to busy students, program administrators decided to explore offering virtual classes. Nicknamed "Virtual Tuesdays," these sessions would be fully online, synchronous classes with students attending remotely and faculty teaching at Questrom. Using Zoom as our facilitating software, we have been able to successfully launch our virtual sessions while maintaining the rich cohort experience of our EMBA program.
