Sometimes, pursuing an online MBA program seems like a safe option—the flexibility that an online MBA offers is spectacular, especially given the hectic schedules and employment obligations that many prospective MBAs deal with daily. In addition, the costs of online MBA programs are often lower than their on-campus counterparts.
Emphasizing ingenuity, innovation, and thought leadership, George Mason University School of Management offers a highly flexible online Executive MBA program. All online students earn their degree over the course of 18 months through an innovative and dynamic program that meets the needs of today’s busy executives.
When weighing different online MBA options, there are a few key things to look at: program features, reputation and accreditation.
At Mason, the online Executive MBA program features two areas of specialization: Global Business and National Defense. The Global Business track includes an eight–day global residency in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, or South America during the second half of the program. The National Defense Track includes several national defense residencies to key U.S. government agencies and contractors.
With location no longer acting as a limiting factor, reputation becomes even more important. One standard for measuring the quality of a degree program is to consider whether the school is accredited.
George Mason’s School of Management has been AACSB accredited since 1991 and is one of only 10-percent of business schools worldwide accredited in both business and accounting. On top of that, U.S. News & World Report ranks George Mason’s Online EMBA program #59 in their “Top Online Graduate Business Programs” list.
