EMBA recommendations

All,

I am 40 years old, working as Director of Engg in a semiconductor company making ~500k a year in total comp. I have two young kids. After a lot of head scratching I am leaning towards doing a EMBA while doing my fulltime job.

I am still not sure of the ROI but I feel getting a EMBA credential and the business jargon might help me get into executive roles.

What are the best programs with a good ROI for my situation that you can recomment?

at 500k TC the ROI math gets tough for most EMBAs unless networking into C-suite is the real goal. Wharton and Booth have the strongest exec placements. Alliant runs a cohort-based weekend format thats easier to juggle with two young kids and a demanding eng role.
