Community

Often regarded as the best online MBA program, the W. P. Carey Online program provides a highly interactive and engaging learning environment. From the beginning, you are encouraged to interact with your peers to build professional relationships that can form into lifelong friendships.

Building a strong support network in our accredited online MBA program allows you to:

• Share experiences and resources
• Build new relationships
• Form valuable professional networks
  

Working in Teams

During your two-year learning experience in the best online MBA program, you will continually be challenged with team projects that draw upon the knowledge and skills of you and your fellow students. Even if you’re hundreds or thousands of miles apart, you will interact through the various communication technologies we offer, including team discussion forums, voice- or text-based chat sessions and e-mail.

This team-oriented aspect of the curriculum prepares you to work effectively in decision-making management and executive groups. The program staff carefully constructs teams to include a wide-ranging set of professional and personal experiences.

For example, a typical team might consist of a senior auditor, a large retail floor manager, a Fortune 500 project manager, an airline pilot, a chemical engineer and a mid-level bank executive. This diversity exposes you to new perspectives and approaches to issues, much more so than a self-formed group of students working in the same industry or function.

Graduation

MBA graduation receptions and ceremonies at ASU's Tempe campus are the final experiences you participate in as a cohort. Share the exhilaration with all W. P. Carey MBA graduates as you receive your diplomas from the school's dean at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe. This is an important and proud event to share with family and friends.

Beyond Graduation

Your relationship with the school continues far beyond your graduation from our accredited online MBA program. In addition to the friendships and connections you have made with fellow students in your cohort, you are entitled to all the benefits and services offered by our active alumni community. When you graduate, you will have access to the full suite of alumni resources, including the graduate alumni directory, networking events and alumni career support.
