Format
The W. P. Carey Online MBA follows a 23-month, focused format consisting of 13 courses taken one course at a time. You can choose to start in January or July. Throughout the program, you learn with an assigned cohort of peers, fellow students you continually interact with throughout your coursework.
These Online MBA courses provide you with management fundamentals—time-proven business knowledge and managerial decision-making tools that will enable you to be a more capable leader in the global marketplace. When you have completed the online MBA degree program, you will be better able to:
- Make informed decisions
- Approach the world from a managerial perspective
- Appreciate the impact that decisions have on multiple dimensions of performance, internal and external to the organization
- Understand how to reinvigorate organizations for long-term survival
Completing an Online MBA Course
Each six-week Online MBA core course consists of five modules that you access with your Web browser. You spend the first five weeks completing one module each week. Then, during the sixth week of each of the online MBA courses, you complete an online final examination or project.
Completing a weekly module means more than just studying and interacting with online course content. You also read assigned textbook and supplemental readings, participate in required online interactive exercises and complete an online quiz. Although module assignments are due each week, you can work on them wherever and whenever you choose.
Cohort Model
Learn with your peers. The Online MBA realizes the effectiveness of students learning together. Students in each cohort not only progress through the core courses of the program together, they also begin and end each of the MBA courses in unison. For each course, a set of weekly interactive exercises, completed either individually or in teams, facilitate shared learning in our comprehensive online MBA classes. Elective courses are taken with students from other cohorts.
Transformative Experience
Students who successfully complete the Online MBA will find themselves transformed. Irrespective of background, students will become more informed leaders equipped with the knowledge to make effective decisions in the complex, dynamic business environment of the 21st century. Furthermore, the experience you gain by learning in geographically distributed teams will prepare you for today's physically dispersed business organizations and partner networks.
