The hybrid weeknight MBA program develops important skills in teamwork and collaboration, leadership, and strategic thinking to help you become a more effective leader and make a difference on the job and in your community. The program is extremely flexible in how classes are taught and how rapidly you complete the degree. Classes are taught in an 8-week hybrid format and meet one weeknight every other week for eight weeks.
