Bridge to the e-MBA
Principle: a module validated in an Executive Impact Certificate is recognized when it is equivalent to a module of the chosen e-MBA. Participants do not have to retake it. Holders of a certificate without an equivalent module benefit from facilitated admission to the e-MBA.
- Recommended e-MBA: All e-MBAs
- Recognized modules: Facilitated admission
