Courtney’s Answer

As you think about the next step in your educational journey, focus on the outcome you are trying to achieve first. Executive programs, whether an MBA or other targeted learnings, are fantastic tools for deepening your knowledge and expertise in a specific area. They often require experience in the field of study (or are designed for those with base knowledge). You will get a better return on your educational/financial investment if you have some experience in the area of study and are confident in how you will apply the knowledge in your career (broadly speaking). In short, use executive education to develop specific skills but not to find out what you do or do not want to do.

Go to work first in that field and be sure you want to spend a lot of time and money to get it. Then see if it will meet your career goals. Talk to alumni to see if it fits the bill for you. In general I know graduate degrees can be worth it, exec programs maybe and maybe not.

emeka’s Answer

if you already have relevant experience in your chosen field, and are mid career, then yes an executive program is really helpful to propel your career forward. its really all about timing to ensure you get the most bang for your buck. for example, i wouldn't get an executive MBA or spend time or money on a program if i have less than 5years of experience.
