Accelerated Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Online Master's Degree Program

Most MBA programs may take students up to two full years to complete. The UA Grantham accelerated MBA program compresses the timeframe for obtaining your MBA into just one year-long course of study.

This allows individuals enrolled in the program to get their degree quickly so they can pursue their next-level opportunities in the business world.

Accelerated MBA programs feature a fast-paced curriculum best suited for those who have a solid foundation in business. This foundation may have been built in a bachelor’s degree program where you had access to coursework in finance, accounting and other business-related topics.

However, working professionals who already bring extensive business experience to the table and want to quickly advance their careers are also suitable for the program.

The flexible schedule UA Grantham offers can help working professionals experience the growth they desire without having to worry about leaving their careers behind.

Gaining admission to the accelerated MBA program at UA Grantham requires that you have a bachelor’s, master’s, or professional-level degree from an accredited college or university. The accrediting organization must be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or a foreign equivalent.

You must have also been able to maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average in your educational program, as proven by your official transcripts. This ensures you are prepared to take on the intensive curriculum offered by our Accelerated MBA program.

GPA requirement waivers may be requested, but be aware that all decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. UA Grantham does not require any standardized test scores from students seeking enrollment in a degree program.

UA Grantham recognizes that all students have unique professional goals. For that reason, we offer two specializations to help students gain the skills they need to thrive in a fast-paced business world. These include information management and project management.

The information management specialization helps students learn to leverage technology to accelerate business success. It prepares you for today’s competitive business landscape, allowing you to gain an edge in understanding how technology can drive operational efficiency and facilitate strategic initiatives.

The project management specialization allows students to gain robust skills in planning, managing, and leading complex projects.

It equips you with the knowledge of project management principles that drive successful outcomes while preparing you for Project Management Professional certification, which is a highly desirable credential among today’s business leaders.

Yes, you will receive the same education in the Accelerated MBA program as you will in the traditional MBA program. At UA Grantham, the only difference is that students in the accelerated program take two classes in each eight-week term, as opposed to only one.

Additionally, students have access to the same specializations in project management and information technology. You will not have to forfeit the benefits that are extended to all of our UA Grantham students, including the complimentary laptop and affordable tuition options.
