Accelerated Online MBA

Earn Your MBA In As Little as 18 Months

Transform Your Career with an Accelerated Online MBA

You shouldn’t have to put everything on hold to take your career to the next level. That’s why, we’ve created a fast, completely online MBA degree program that can transform your career in as little as 18 months, without giving up your job, your family, or your life.

Bentley's Accelerated Online MBA is asynchronously delivered online, and streamlined, six-week course intervals. The curated curriculum with a leadership concentration takes the guesswork out of course selection, allowing students to focus on one course at a time while performing classwork at whatever time of day works best for them. Students can accelerate their program by taking two six-week asynchronous courses at a time or add a hybrid course taken synchronously online (either a one-week intensive or a regular 14-week fall/spring or 10-week summer course). 

The leadership concentration gives students the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary to effectively lead complex multinational/multicultural organizations. This program concentration attracts students from such diverse fields as engineering, IT, biotechnology, consulting, financial systems, health care and many others, as it prepares graduates for advancement into broader leadership roles.
