Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates

In traditional MBA programs, most students do not have an undergraduate degree in business so a great deal of time is spent teaching management fundamentals. The AMBA curriculum is tailored to practising managers with an undergraduate business degree, designed to be complementary and layered on the content of their undergraduate business program. Rather than relearning fundamental concepts already studied, the program focuses on advanced management topics that can help participants take their career to the next level.

In the Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates program, students will learn to approach business issues in an integrated and comprehensive way and develop an understanding of how management decisions can have an impact across an organization and beyond.

The MBA for Business Graduates schedule typically requires a commitment of approximately 20 hours each week, in addition to class time. Exams, projects, and assignments are divided evenly throughout the year, so that learners can develop a regular work pattern. Classes are scheduled all day Sunday and Monday morning of every other week. There may be times in which a Monday afternoon class session will be scheduled. If not, teams are expected to use Monday afternoon to work on group assignments, summarize class discussions, and prepare for presentations.
