Format Options
Blended
Students complete the Professional's MBA through 8-week courses, primarily in a hybrid format. Hybrid courses consist of one in-person class session and one online asynchronous session per week. Some fully online course options are offered and may be fully asynchronous, or may include a weekly online synchronous component. Our dedicated program advisors work with each student to design an individualized plan – keeping specialization, pace, and preferred location in mind.
Online
