How long does Warrington’s Part-time MBA take?

At this stage, you benefit from an education that suits you — where you’ve come from, all you’ve done so far, and the direction you intend to take.

The two formats for Warrington’s Weekend Part-time MBA program take your previous education and time in the workforce into account:

• One-year Part-time MBA: This four-term accelerated course of study is designed for professionals who earned an undergraduate degree in business within the past seven years. Ahead of the first term, the MBA Foundations course reacquaints you and your fellow students with key concepts, theories, and the school environment. This format covers the same topics and provides the same depth as the two-year program at a faster, more intense pace. The program starts in August.
• Two-year Part-time MBA: Robust, intensive coursework spread across six terms gives non-business majors and those out of school for at least seven years a competitive edge in their respective industries. Two-year program students begin their program in January.

Please note: All Weekend Part-time MBA program formats involve a 15- to 20-hour-per-week commitment that includes class time, assignments, and career and experiential activities.
