KGSM created its Executive MBA Program in 2004 to satisfy the needs of Korean companies to develop their core managers into capable CEOs of the future. KAIST Executive MBA Program employs various methods to prepare its students for current global business challenges. First, each student has to take more than 48 credits and participate in overseas field studies at prominent foreign business schools in the US and Europe. Students must obtain an Advanced Speaking (AS) level in English in the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), or participate in an English immersion program before graduation.

The program actively utilizes cyber infrastructures to facilitate cooperation and communication between students and professors, deepening the learning experience.
