executive MBA programs

[barefootcontessa]

Does anyone have suggestions for learning about executive MBA programs in addition to the basic ranking? Like what different programs are known for? Which programs are more quantitative than qualitative? How effective the alumni network is? I live within driving distance of a number of top ranked program and am interested in seeing what programs might be a good fit. TIA.

Alumni. In my area it seems certain companies send people to certain programs. Most people in the EMBA program at my school were sponsored by their company. Can you talk to anyone at your company that has done this?
