Graduate Degrees Overview

Albers offers an MBA degree for each stage of your professional life. Each program has its own unique characteristics designed to educate its participants in the most effective way. For instance, the Bridge MBA program for early career students is a full time, cohort (lockstep) program with classes during the day. In contrast, the Professional MBA program is part-time with classes in the evening and has a flexible schedule for working professionals. The Executive MBA programs are cohort programs that offer schedules designed to afford busy professionals the opportunity to learn in an environment that doesn't require them to sacrifice their professional and personal lifestyles in order to take the next step in their careers.
