Why Your School Should Complete in the EMBAC Program Survey
Each year, EMBAC conducts its Membership Program Survey—a vital initiative that empowers member institutions to benchmark, strategize, and lead with confidence. If you're part of an institution offering executive degree programs, your participation in the EMBAC Program Survey is not just valuable—it's essential.
1. Shape the Future of Executive Education
The EMBAC Program Survey is more than a data collection effort—it's a collaborative initiative that captures the pulse of the executive degree landscape. By contributing your program’s data, you help build a comprehensive, authoritative view of the field. This collective insight informs trends, identifies challenges, and highlights opportunities that benefit all EMBAC members.
2. Gain Access to Exclusive Benchmarking Tools
Members who complete the survey receive:
- The EMBAC Benchmarking Standard Report – A detailed, data-rich resource offering insights into program costs, admissions, curriculum design, career outcomes, and more.
- Access to the EMBAC Program Survey Dashboard – An interactive tool that allows you to explore and compare data across institutions, helping you make informed, strategic decisions.

These comprehensive reports cover a wide range of metrics, including program structure, cohort demographics, admissions requirements, budgets, growth plans, and much more.
These exclusive tools are critical for refining your program’s operations, enhancing marketing strategies, and aligning with industry best practices.
3. Support Your Program’s Visibility and Membership Standing
Completing the Membership Program Survey is a required part of EMBAC’s annual renewal process. It ensures your program:
- Maintains a listing in the searchable EMBAC online directory, which is used by prospective students to find programs that match their interests. Each school receives one listing in the directory for free with survey completion.
- Receives industry benchmark data that supports strategic planning and continuous improvement.
- Stays connected – The directory also serves as a source of contact information used for EMBAC communications.
Keeping your program’s information current not only supports your internal planning but also enhances your visibility to prospective students and strengthens your engagement with the EMBAC community.
4. Streamlined and Supportive Process
The survey process is designed to be efficient and user-friendly:
- Directory Profile Summary (DPS) – A pre-filled version of the survey is provided to members using your previous responses, making it easier to update and complete. The DPS is provided before the start of the survey fielding so your team can collect the information needed for the survey.
