Accelerated Online MBA

Cohort Program Delivered in Six Week Online Course Intensives

An MBA in as little as 18 months

You shouldn’t have to put everything on hold to take your career to the next level. That’s why, at Bentley University, 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.

Asynchronous, Online Learning

Bentley's Accelerated Online MBA is delivered in fast, streamlined, six-week course intervals. The curated curriculum with a leadership concentration takes the guess work out of course selection, allowing students to focus on one course at a time, while performing class work 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).  

A Focus on Leadership

Our leadership concentration give 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.
