What is MBA?

• The Master of Business Administration, or MBA for
  short is an internationally recognized and
  geographically portable post-graduate course in
  which students can study subjects that together
  constitute what we know as management. The
  Masters in Business Administration (MBA) offers
  students an opportunity to gain insight into
  different areas within management and achieve
  academic excellence, as well as geographical
  flexibility. The 21st century is a difficult time
  for those who work in business and management.

The graduates will emerge with a range of new
skills to face the demands set by todays
competitive business environment. These include
Human Resources Management, operations
management, marketing management, information
management, financial management, strategic
management, organisational behaviour etc. In
addition to being able to develop strong
technical skills, todays managers must also be
skilled in influencing people and interacting
with a broad spectrum of colleagues. In order for
them not only to understand their companys
relation with competitors but also how it relates
to both micro business environments as well as
macro-level considerations.

In order to stay competitive in todays business
world, many companies have changed their two-year
MBA programme offerings. These changes range from
shorter programs (the one year norm) and
different structures like modular or
international style joint degree programmes that
accommodate diverse groups based on age groupings
as well individual sector preferences for people
entering the workforce now versus later years
when they are more experienced with skill sets
needed by employers.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GET AN MBA?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES TO GET AN MBA?
Program lengths vary based on the choice of
program format and delivery option. For example,
full-time immersive formats such as distance
learning programs typically last three years
while part time single digit completion rates
take between two to four total calendar quarters
for study groups at five weeks per month or six
months each quarter. The rate is reduced even
more when hybrid courses are involved because
they can be completed in less than one year
depending upon how quickly you learn material and
this would not apply if there were significant
lectures given throughout coursework instead
though!

• In general terms, most MBA students plan ahead
  enough so that their studies do not interfere too
  much. Some schools offer 1 year, 2 year or 3
  years worth of classes to earn an MBA. When
  deciding on a study program, the biggest factor
  affecting completion time is whether you choose
  part-time or full schedules.
• The traditional MBA is a full time and two year
  program with classes on campus.
• An accelerated MBA is conducted online or in
  person, and typically takes 11-16 months to
  complete on a full-time basis.
• Part time MBA programmes can be completed online,
  in person, or a combination of the two, and
  generally take four to six years to complete.
• Executive MBA programs can be completed online,
  in person, or a combination of the two and range
  from 18-24 months.
• Dual MBA programmes allow students to earn an MBA
  while they work toward another related degree.
  Candidates can typically complete dual degree
  programs in a three-year period but, depending on
  the degrees, it can take longer.
