You can put it on now. Be careful with your phrasing and how you add it as your current employer – particularly if sponsoring – may not appreciate learning of your job hunt. Even internally, departments can get political. Consider crafting the resume to be used for internal promotion purposes. The EMBA blurb should target positions you want HR to consider matching within your employer.
 
If you are looking for a job outside your current employer (or are unemployed), add the blurb targeting the roles you are building yourself into. Be smart/cautious about distributing the resume.
 
Put expected finish date, any cases you’ve helped write (not ones discussed in class, one’s you’re helping a professor write!), other research done, etc.
