Given that the online MBA program is considered part-time and generally requires only 15 to 20 hours of work per week, we aim to make the most of your time with recorded lectures, research, class discussions and self-reflection. Our classes integrate experiential learning, relevant and timely subject matter into nearly every facet of the online MBA program by encouraging students to put business principles into action by practicing with simulations and tackling realistic, modern scenarios. The availability of group tutoring is contingent on student demand.
