McDonough- Mercer University’s Stetson School of Business and Economics will begin offering its Executive MBA (EMBA) program at the University’s Regional Academic Center in Henry County, beginning January 2005.

Currently offered on Mercer’s Cecil B. Day Graduate and Professional Campus in Atlanta, the Executive MBA program is designed for business professionals with at least seven years of work experience.
