Having options when pursuing a degree is always nice. Beginning in the fall of 2015, Flexible MBA students at the Carey Business School will have the option of pursuing their degree online, in the classroom, or a combination of both. Where does the added flexibility come into play? The Flexible MBA is a 54-credit degree program typically completed over three academic years but gives students the ability to take up to six years to finish the program if need be.
“The Flexible MBA is geared for the part-time student. Adding online courses will give these students greater choice in pursuing their business education,” said Kevin Frick, PhD, vice dean for education at the Carey Business School. “Online courses also make our program accessible to students who were previously unable to earn a Johns Hopkins degree because of time or distance, and who are potentially anywhere in the world.”
The new online Flexible MBA option will begin with two core degree courses in the fall of 2015, Business Communication and Statistical Analysis and new courses will be added over time. The Flexible MBA curriculum covers:
- Convenient evening, Saturday, and online* courses
- A choice of eight concentrations
- Enterprise Risk Management
- Financial Businesses
- Health Care Management
- Information Systems
- Management
- Marketing
- Real Estate and Infrastructure
- Interdisciplinary Business
- A focus on real-world skills and business knowledge to help you transition into leadership positions in the private, nonprofit, and public service sectors
Students enrolled in the online Flexible MBA program will also be required to take three weekend residency courses to complete their degree. These weekend residency courses will be held at the Carey Business School’s Harbor East campus in Baltimore, Md.
