Wednesday, October 26th, 2016

Georgia Southern was ranked as the number one accredited online college in Georgia and the number 17 top online MBA program on BestColleges.com.

The University has offered the MBA program via distance learning since 2001, and currently has an alumni network of 73,000 graduates.

Georgia Southern offers qualified, motivated professionals a 21-month path to an AACSB-International accredited MBA degree. The asynchronous structure of the online format allows students to attend class from wherever, whenever. Unlike the traditional face-to-face MBA classrooms, the Online MBA classroom is accessible from anywhere in the world, 24/7.

A general management degree at its core, the Online MBA complements most undergraduate degrees and enhances the skill set of graduates—no matter their career paths. The online curriculum consists of 10 courses (30 credit hours) with students completing two courses each semester for five consecutive semesters. While U.S. students are required to attend a two-day orientation in Atlanta, they are not expected to visit campus once the program begins.

“Our Online MBA offers outstanding value and is very popular among busy professionals. The coursework is rigorous and relevant, and the delivery model is flexible and convenient. So, we’re very happy to be recognized,” states Allen C. Amason, dean of the College of Business at Georgia Southern University. “We’re proud of work that’s been done in this program and of the alumni whose success reflects so well on it.”
