Modular EMBA in Switzerland: How Rochester-Bern is Redefining Executive Education for 2026
Flexible. Focused. Built Around You.
In today’s business landscape, flexibility isn’t a luxury – it’s essential. Executives are balancing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and the constant pressure to stay ahead.
That’s why, starting in 2026, the Rochester-Bern Executive MBA will launch a fully modular format – offering a flexible and personalized path to a dual degree EMBA. Whether you’re looking to start with one Master Class, a CAS, or commit to the full program, you can build your education around your life and goals – without compromising academic excellence.
Why Modularity Matters in Executive Education
The global shift toward modular learning formats is being embraced by top business schools – and for good reason. Today’s executives are balancing work, family and long-term career growth. A modular EMBA lets you advance professionally without putting life on hold.
What is Modularity?
Modularity means structuring an academic program into self-contained, flexible learning units – such as short courses, Master Classes, or certificate programs – that can be completed individually or stacked toward a larger credential like a DAS (Diploma of Advanced Studies) or EMBA (Executive Master of Business Administration). This format allows participants to customize their education journey, choosing when, how, and in what sequence to complete their studies.
Why Now?
Four key trends are fueling the shift toward modular EMBA formats:
– Work-life integration – Learn without pausing your career
– Immediate ROI – Apply insights directly to your job
– Career personalization – Focus on topics that matter to you
– Employer sponsorship – Organizations support scalable, skill-based education
The Rochester-Bern Modular EMBA answers all of these with a structure that’s both flexible and rigorous.
What’s New in the Rochester-Bern EMBA for 2026
Our redesigned EMBA revolves around three pillars: modularity, flexibility, and relevance. It allows you to earn stackable, internationally recognized credentials – starting from a single Master Class and progressing up to the full EMBA.
