Academic Rigor
So you’re signing up? Congratulations! But before applying, know this: Our Professional Online MBA program will be challenging. Our program boasts an intense, part-time work load that may be completed in one of two tracts: the Accelerated track will allow you to complete your Jenkins MBA in as little as 21 months or the Flexible track is designed to allow you to complete the degree when you want, how you want*. We’re talking a 39 credit hour program, no matter which tract you select. We also host a three-day communications immersion weekend for our online MBAs in Raleigh in October.* And all our online MBAs have the option to complete a 10-day study abroad trip.
“We want our online students to work hard, learn lots and enjoy themselves. This will be an extremely rewarding program, but everyone must expect to work.”
This might sound intense, but our professors, and NC State, insist that a rigorous workload full of teamwork, lectures and helpful, engaging classes is the only way for online students to fully understand business management. ”We don’t want someone to just check a box and think they can graduate,” says Dr. John McCreery, who teaches the online project management business course. “We want our online students to work hard, learn lots and enjoy themselves. This will be an extremely rewarding program, but everyone must expect to work.”
* Flexible Professional track must be completed in 6 years.
* Military students may opt out of Raleigh Residency
