You’re taking the next step in your career. Make it count. Make it The Southern MBA.
Learn from the best. All members of the graduate faculty, including adjuncts, hold doctoral degrees in their respective expertise. While pursuing your Southern MBA, you’ll continually gain knowledge that you can apply immediately in your current position, well in advance of the day you receive your diploma. To that end, check out our Certificate Programs which can be earned as you pursue your Southern MBA.
Your education is a major investment in your future. And, as a businessperson, you seek maximum return on your investment. We believe Southern Connecticut State University offers the very best value for your MBA dollar – you can spend far more elsewhere, but will you get more?
At Southern, we get it. Earning your MBA is a big step, but it’s not the only step in your life. Education. Career. Family. Interests. They form the mosaic of your life. That’s why we offer both the Traditional Southern MBA and the Accelerated Southern MBA. Which makes the most sense for you? YOU decide…
The Traditional Southern MBA can be pursued as a full- or part-time program. Effective Fall 2024, it will be a 33-to-42 credit program, with only 33 credits required for a concentration after approval of waivers of up to nine (9) credits.
The Accelerated Southern MBA is a full-time program, with only 33 credits required for a concentration in the degree program effective Fall 2024. The Accelerated cohort program can be complete within 15 months.
Classes are normally held on Saturdays to accommodate the demands of a full-time professional’s career, offering the candidate the flexibility to pursue their MBA with minimal disruption. Candidates participate in a “Cohort” format, which means you start and finish the program with the same group of MBA candidates.
The Online Southern MBA offers a choice of the Traditional MBA OR the full-time Accelerated MBA (cohort program) – COMPLETELY ONLINE.
Candidates pursuing either program will still comply with the requirements of each program, e.g., class schedules, cohort format, etc.
