The Flex MBA program gives emerging managers an opportunity to earn an MBA with minimal disruption to their professional lives. Students attend classes delivered in-person or online during the program. The Flex MBA enrolls new students in fall, winter, and spring quarters. Students that begin the program in spring attend classes nine consecutive quarters, including summers, and complete the program within 27 months. Students that begin the program in fall attend classes during the Fall-Spring academic year and complete the program within 33 months. Students also have the opportunity to accelerate their program to graduate in 21 months.

The program consists of both core courses and electives, allowing students to establish a solid foundation of traditional business skills and then customize their education based on personal interests and goals. The curriculum provides constant interaction between information presented in the classroom and what is being used on the job, reinforcing and enhancing the student’s learning experience.
