Starting in fall 2018, adult students entering or currently enrolled in the business management (BG) degree program at Friends University will have the option to complete an MBA or Global MBA at Friends in as little as one year after they earn their bachelor’s degree.
BG students can enroll in up to 12 graduate credit hours while taking their undergraduate courses. The remaining credit hours can be completed in less time than a traditional graduate program could be completed, helping adult students save time and money. This option is currently available to BG students who are enrolled or will enroll in general business, health care management and operations management concentrations, but may be extended to other concentrations in the future.
“This option allows adult students in the expanding marketplace the option to earn a higher salary sooner and save money on graduate tuition,” said Dr. Jasper Lesage, vice president of academic affairs at Friends University. “We are excited to welcome even more students interested in MBA degrees that are attainable at a faster, more affordable rate.”
The online MBA programs at Friends give students a variety of options. Within the Professional MBA and the Global MBA programs, a student may earn concentrations in Accounting, Health Care Leadership, Cyber Security, Finance, Human Resources, Change Management or Supply Chain Management.
