What is the difference between an EMBA and an MAS?

  • The EMBA title is better known internationally than an MAS. The MAS title is only available in Switzerland. An international comparison of both titles is possible via ECTS points.
  • The term EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration) originates from the English-speaking world.
  • Some EMBA courses have stricter admission requirements than MAS courses.
  • Originally, an EMBA was a generalist leadership and management training program for managers and an MAS was a subject-specific continuing education, further training program for managers. In recent years, schools have increasingly blurred this distinction. In Switzerland, it is now difficult to distinguish an EMBA course from an MAS course.
