Parker MBA Program Options
Traditional MBA Program
The Traditional MBA Program
allows students to graduate in
approximately two years by
taking two courses over six
semesters (fall, spring and
summer). Each class typically
meets one day per week in the
evenings. With this program you
also have the option of taking
only one course per semester and
completing your MBA in
approximately four years.
Accelerated MBA Program
Our Accelerated option allows
you the opportunity to complete
your MBA in as little as 11
months. In this program you take
two courses each Saturday (one
in the morning and one in the
afternoon) in each of six
seven-week sessions. This is a
very rigorous and challenging
program intended only for
students willing to focus
intensely on their graduate
studies. If Saturdays are good
for you but you only want to
take one course at a time, plan
on completing your MBA in
approximately 23 months.
