Executive education fundamentally is different from education for younger adults by many ways who are just out of school. Listing below some observations for executive education which results in overall success for executives:
- More focus on open book rather than closed book exams.
- Focus on case studies and take-home assignments, quizzes, projects rather than in class closed book assignments and assessments.
- Focus on grades and application of concepts rather than percentages, derivations and fundamental equations.
- Lesser number of evaluations compared to normal education.
- Course dispersed over a larger period / duration compared to similar ones in normal full-time education with similar content.
- Concept of residencies and weekend / evening / flexible teaching.
- Integrated experiential learning based on experiences from executive’s jobs or business with lot of peer learning.
- More focus on skills, values, ethics, cases, experiences, certifications, networking, practical’s and similar compared to traditional degree granting education.
- Focus on industry-based learnings, interactions, master classes and leadership ability development.
- Mostly hybrid / online / flexible / mixed learning modes.
- Less focus on placement activities.
- Specialized, focused and tailored to audiences rather than a generic, fit all approach of traditional degrees.
