Executive Seminar
Each year, the MBA programs hold an Executive Seminar, which provides an opportunity for MBA students to learn from Philadelphia-area business leaders about relevant business issues. Speakers incorporate some aspect of the qualitative skills of management, leadership, and/or ethics into his or her presentation, while keeping in mind the Christian worldview at Eastern. The seminar is free and open to the public and we encourage any prospective MBA students to attend.
