Program Overview and Mission<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Western’s\u00a0Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB, https:\/\/www.aacsb.edu\/about). Western’s M.B.A. program focuses on preparing students for managerial positions and leadership roles in\u00a0contemporary organizations. Students acquire vital knowledge about business and organizational functions and activities. Students are challenged to think strategically and to hone skills needed to succeed in competitive environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Western’s M.B.A. is designed with flexibility\u00a0in mind to meet the needs of our students: <\/span><\/p>\n

Working Professionals: Students can take\u00a0one\u00a0or two\u00a0courses in the fall, spring, summer and intersession, completing the degree in as little as two years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Full-time Students: For students able to make a full-time commitment including summer and intersession, the program can be completed in 12-14 months depending on required\u00a0prerequisites. Our scheduling also\u00a0meets the needs of Accounting graduates who are completing Connecticut’s 150 credit hour requirement prior to joining accounting firms.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Most graduate classes meet one night a week on Monday through Thursday evenings\u00a0at 5:25\u00a0p.m.\u00a0 Some courses may be offered in online or hybrid formats and occasionally at 8 p.m. or on weekends. Small classes, usually fewer than 25 students, encourage interaction and collegiality among the students.<\/span><\/p>\n
