Accelerated MBA (AMBA)
Program Flyer | GMAT Waiver | 2009-2010 AMBA Schedule

This intensive program maintains our unique program features of small class size and superior faculty-student interaction. The compressed schedule features a comprehensive, in-depth applied education; your completion date will just be sooner.

Our courses are specifically mapped to address four critical areas of leadership:

  • Those who possess abundant business knowledge and will benefit from an intensive, in-depth applied educational experience
  • Individuals who recognize the competitive advantage of augmenting their experience with a highly valued degree within an accelerated schedule
  • Those preferring a cohort-based program to expand their network
