George Washington University MBA Program Structure

The George Washington University Professional MBA is a part-time program that students can complete in two-to-five years. Students have the option to complete the program in four different track methods; cohort, self-paced, online, or hybrid.

The cohort method is similar to the GWU Global MBA program, in that students will complete in-person classes at the Foggy Bottom Campus. However, they have the option to add electives in acceleration of the program. These cohort classes are offered on Tuesday and Thursday nights for the first three semesters of the programs, with electives available on most weeknights.

The self-paced track allows students simply to move and adjust at their own pace, finishing in as many as five years.

The online and hybrid tracks offer students a chance to take classes either completely or partially online.

Curriculum

Like the Global MBA, the George Washington University Professional MBA consists of 55.5 total credits; 28.5 core credits and 27 elective credits. The method of how students complete the 55.5 credits varies depending upon the track they use to finish them.
