Nothing can replace the interaction and learning that occurs in-person. However, we know that sometimes life and work happens which prevents you from being able to be on campus. The MBA for Executives Extended Classroom allows students to occasionally join class remotely Leveraging state-of-the-art classroom technology in Evans Hall, this innovation helps students to inject some flexibility into their rigorous class weekend schedule and manage travel demands.
Program participants using the Extended Classroom can see and hear what is going on in the classroom. They can raise their hand and contribute to class discussions. Students on campus can see their peers on dedicated screens, as can of course the professor.
To maintain the quality and rigor of the Yale MBA for Executives program, the number of Extended Classroom spots per weekend is limited.
I have really appreciated the Extended Classroom feature of the Yale EMBA program. Balancing family, work, friends, and school can be difficult but being able to access professors and classmates remotely is a real game-changer. I’ve used Extended Classroom in order to attend my nephew’s first birthday party, my best friend’s wedding, and even to take care of a sick husband. Being able to be present in Atlanta with my loved ones and also in New Haven with my cohort has been the best gift.
