“My approach to the program is the opposite of what is advertised. Rather than getting through it quickly, I’m taking it more slowly. So I only take one class per semester. That’s what works best for me since I’m working full time. While WAU’s accelerated program offers classes that allow you to get it done in 12 months, it’s not based on the calendar year; it’s based on the number of credits. So you can take the credits whenever you want to take them. You aren’t penalized for working through it more slowly. You graduate with an MBA at your pace. And, that’s one of the values of getting my degree from WAU.”
Accelerated
Classes are offered in 8-week sessions, allowing you to complete your degree in as little as 12 to 18 months, depending on the degree you choose.
Affordable
Our tuition rates are competitive (Undergraduate – $465 and Graduate $625 per credit hour), less your substantial tuition discount if your employer is a partner with the SGPS). This will allow you to earn a high-quality education at an attractive price.
Flexible
Classes are offered online, face-to-face, and/or hybrid in the evenings (one night a week). Here at SGPS, you can select a pace that is tailored for your life, choosing to take as few or as many classes as you want.
