Our 36-hour Online MBA program is designed in a modular format, with each semester being broken into two 8-week modules. Our self-paced program allows you to take a course load that fits your life, so you can complete the program in as little as 2 years or take as long as 5 years. Courses are taught by the same top-tier faculty as our Full-time MBA. Most Online MBA classes are delivered synchronously, in real-time, online in the evenings during the week from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM CT.
