Earn your MBA in two years
We’ve packed 15 of our best courses into a plan of study you can finish in two years without taking more than two courses at a time. And when your investment in your MBA needs to change from one semester to the next, we're here to help. You'll work with your advisor to arrange a plan of study that works for you, regardless of what life, family, or work throws your way.
Best of all, there are no prerequisites to work through prior to enrollment. Take MBA-level classes right away and start applying what you learn from day one.
Sample plans
The 16-week semester is split into two 8-week sessions. The majority of courses follow an 8-week format, with some 11-week elective courses offered. Other options include occasional condensed winter courses or Global Learning Opportunity courses.
