Weekend Part-time MBA in Miami

About the Weekend Part-time MBA

If a title includes “manager,” “director” or “executive,” the accompanying job requirements likely list a Master of Business Administration degree.

Taking this essential step means returning to school. Warrington’s part-time MBA program not only aligns with your schedule but also brings our world-recognized instruction closer to you to thoroughly prepare you for the next phase of your career.

To unlock immediate and long-term advancement, you progress through a curriculum covering high-level accounting, finance, management, marketing and organizational leadership competencies. You also learn to incorporate AI and data analytics into business processes and begin to think strategically.

Because leadership presents differently across fields and roles, the program’s required and optional professional development opportunities let you focus on the skills that enhance your prospects:

• Professional development events: These short virtual to two-day in-person sessions combine expert-led talks, skills-based workshops, and opportunities to connect with current MBA students and alumni. Topics span from technical competencies to leadership and innovation.

Tuition assistance

Warrington’s part-time MBA program more than jump-starts your journey to a new title and more influence. It smooths your way there with significantly less debt overall.

What to expect

This is how a graduate education for working business professionals should be. The Weekend Part-time MBA program recognizes the power of knowledge and meaningful connections:

• Class profile: While an undergraduate business degree is not a prerequisite, the program attracts many seasoned professionals who possess a decade or more of experience.
• Other requirements: All South Florida MBA students participate in the Global Immersion Experience, a weeklong excursion that takes them inside international companies and markets. Trips are scheduled around the program’s midpoint.
