Program Structure

The Fast-Track Professional MBA program is partitioned into 10 modules delivered over a two-year period, with approximately 50% of the program's content delivered online. Three of the modules are six-week, intensive seminars dedicated to the development of participants' leadership skills. Six modules include two courses taken at the same time over a 13-week period. The first four of these modules emphasize core business knowledge and practice, and the final two are dedicated to more specialized electives. The 13-week modules consist of one week of pre-reading, six classes held every other week, five weeks of distance learning scheduled between each class, and a final week to submit projects or final exams. The final module includes either an international trip or an independent study in international business. Students participating in the international trip will have the opportunity to visit other countries and gain perspective on how business processes are affected by the prevailing economic, cultural, and regulatory environment. The international trip will be held in the spring and the cost of the trip is not included in the cost of the program. The destinations and prices of the trips are announced each spring.
