Accelerated Master of Business Administration (AMBA)

Enrollment in the AMBA for fall 2013 is currently closed. 

The Accelerated Master of Business Administration (Accelerated MBA) is a newer program that was first launched in the 2009-10 academic year. The Accelerated MBA is designed for talented individuals with little or no full-time business work experience and who want to either reposition themselves for a career in business or accelerate the rate of advancement in their chosen field of business.  The program is designed so that an individual who has the necessary prerequisite preparation, can complete the program in twelve months.

 

If you already have at least two years of business experience, you may wish to consider our flagship Professional MBA program.

The Accelerated MBA is offered as a full-timeMBA program that is both academically challenging and fast-paced.  It is not designed for individuals who are working full-time.  Students begin course work in the Fall  semester and complete the program the following Summer term.

 

The Massey AMBA Features:

 

Experience.   Accelerated MBA students are not required to have full-time work experience prior to being admitted to the program.  However, as with any MBA program, any business experience, including part-time experience and student internships will pay dividends for the Accelerated MBA student and is certainly encouraged.  To assure a minimum of work experience prior to graduation, Accelerated MBA students will be required to complete a significant internship/work experience course component during the program as part of the required curriculum.  The COBA Career Services will assist each Accelerated MBA student in meeting this program requirement.

 

Flexibility.   Although the lockstep, full-time format of the Accelerated MBA is not as flexible as a part-time program would allow, each student maintains significant flexibility in terms of how their program is structured.  In addition to selecting up to four electives (8 out of a total of 34 credits) from Massey MBA offerings.

 

Personal Touch.  An additional characteristic that sets The Massey School apart from many of its peers is the personal attention given to each student's learning needs.  Enrollments are managed to assure small class sizes average of 25 in core classes and average of 13-15 in electives) so that students have significant opportunities to interact with each professor and their peers.  All program faculty are deeply committed to making sure that each student's learning environment is an effective one for that individual, and the school works closely with each student to customize a job search plan for the individual's unique skills and abilities.  Meet our Accelerated MBA Class of 2012 below.
