One Year MBA

Full-Time Programs
Nowadays, there are many different types of MBA programs. Before making a decision, you should evaluate each and every one.
Even though they are both full-time programs, one-year MBA programs are quite a bit different than their two-year counterparts. A one-year MBA program has very strict requirements for admission, both in academic training and work history.

Program Duration
One-year MBA programs usually last between eleven and sixteen months. Because school will be the priority during this time, one-year MBA programs are not for students who will be working full-time.

Program Advantages
When you are getting an MBA, a one-year program can save you considerable amount of time. It is especially perfect for students who wish to pursue specialized study that will help them advance in their current career or field.

Most one-year MBA programs reduce core requirements and allow customization of courses through electives and concentrations.

Program Disadvantages
Unfortunately, some employers who require an MBA frown upon the one-year MBA. Do your research before choosing this program. Also realize that internship opportunities are much more limited within a one-year program.

Admission
One-year MBA programs have a very competitive admission process. Prerequisites include an exemplary academic record and/or work background.
