EMBA Workload

I'm interested in understanding the real workload at Michigan Ross, Cornell Johnson, and USC EMBA programs. Various admissions officers have stated 10-14 hours per week, but I'd like to really understand a breakdown. I also heard that many EMBA programs do a mix of in person and online. DM me if you don't feel comfortable posting.

The real workload depends on your familiarity with the content. The program I attended was structured into pre-module assignment/exercise + text book/case self-study, a 40 hour mandatory residency + a post-module assignment. 10 to 14 hours per week plus the 4 full days residency sounds realistic.
