Students may choose to pursue a well-rounded general MBA, or focus their pathway on finance, project management, marketing, entrepreneurship, data analytics, and more.
- Our program provides students with the flexibility to succeed, offering hybrid courses, afternoon and evening courses, weekend-intensive elective courses, and fully online courses in the summer.
- Students may elect to pursue their degree full-time (12-15 months completion time) or part-time (2-3 years completion time).

- In our most recent alumni survey, 74% of graduates reported that they earned a raise or bonus while in the program or within one year, and 90% of graduates believe a return on investment was achieved within five years.
