Completing an MBA Course Online

Each six-week course consists of five modules that you access with your web browser. You spend the first five weeks completing one module per week. Then, during the sixth week of each course, you complete an online final examination.  

Completing a weekly module means more than just reviewing the 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 want.

Cohort Model

Learn with your peers. The online MBA program realizes the effectiveness of students learning together. Students in each cohort not only begin and end the program together, but also begin and end each six-week course in unison. For each course, a set of weekly interactive exercises—completed either individually or in teams—facilitate shared learning.

Transformative Experience

Students who successfully complete the online MBA program will find themselves transformed. Irrespective of background, students will become more informed leaders equipped with the know-how to make effective decisions in the complex, dynamic business environment of the 21st century.
