MBA One Year Program
The one-year delivery of the Master of Business Administration degree program is designed to be an intensive program of study which will allow a student to complete all requirements in 12 months beginning in the fall or spring semester.*
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
- Gather, interpret and analyze research to inform decision-making at operational and strategic levels of an organization.
- Use advanced communication skills and awareness of cultural differences in global and domestic business interactions.
- Analyze problems from a diverse perspective, propose effective solutions and evaluate the impact of executive decisions.
- Assess and evaluate business entities taking into account cross-functional environments as they affect ethical decision making in domestic and global organizations.
Graduates learn executive business competencies, professional leadership, and strategic and creative thinking skills that will help them ethically solve problems which occur in the global business environment in culturally sensitive ways.
Admission to this accelerated program is offered in the fall and spring semesters. Students with an interest in developing new connections and a desire to complete the program quickly are prime candidates. Students are expected to have completed all required foundation courses before the start of the MBA core classes. The One Year Program offers courses in both Hybrid and Online formats.**
The one-year program is identical to the traditional program except that all courses are offered in an eight-week hybrid model. Students complete two courses per eight-week semester which adds up to four courses per semester, including the summer term.**
* Online students start in the fall, spring or summer semester.
** Students enrolling in the Online program will take courses in a 100% online environment and are not required to come to campus.
