  • AACSB-Accredited

At Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management, students in the Online MBA program can complete their degree in as little as two years and choose one of four elective concentrations: finance, leadership and managing organizational change, marketing, and general management.

Rice University - Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business

Jones School
Houston, TX 77252
United States
  • AACSB-Accredited

Just as Rice University is praised by some as an "Ivy of the South," so too is their MBA@Rice program seen as every bit (if not more, according to some) as prestigious as the on-campus equivalent offered by Rice's Jones Graduate School of Business. Students stress that while the "online program curriculum is the same as their other MBA programs," and that there's a time commitment of about 15–20 hours a week, it features a far more flexible model. Between the quadmester schedule (ten weeks on, roughly three weeks off, depending on final exams and optional intensive learning experiences) and the "engaging program structure," which mixes asynchronous videos from PhD professors with live-teaching from industry experts, enrollees suggest that this may very well be "the benchmark for part-time and working individuals for the future." While a handful of students suggest they would've liked slightly longer courses, their reasoning seems to be that they just really enjoy spending time with their instructors: "I would like to keep in touch even after finishing my MBA, and connecting Read More...
