An accelerated Master of Business Administration 4+1 program is designed to help students who earn an undergraduate business degree earn an MBA more quickly than they would in a traditional MBA program. Students in the MBA 4+1 program at WPU Online can choose between a fully online or hybrid format to complete the high-quality master鈥檚 program that will allow them to develop the business acumen and leadership skills they need to advance in the business world.

The 4+1 MBA program at WPU Online enables students who earn a BS or BA degree at 玩偶姐姐 with a major in business administration, accounting, or healthcare administration to apply for advanced placement in the MBA program.听

Students must apply and be accepted into the MBA program within one year of graduating from their approved undergraduate program to qualify. Students will be required to maintain an overall 3.0 GPA and submit a proficiency essay as part of their graduate school application, demonstrating their knowledge in the five core areas eligible for advanced placement credits: leadership, accounting, marketing, economics, and global business.

If the student passes the proficiency essay assessment, advanced placement credits can be earned for BUS 501A, BUS 603A, BUS 606A, BUS 607A, and BUS 610A. No partial proficiency credit is available.

In the 4+1 MBA program, students who have earned credits for the above courses complete nine (six-week-long) courses, attending class in a 100% online, asynchronous format or in a hybrid flexible (HyFlex) format, which includes one synchronous class per course.听

Regardless of the format:

鈥⑻鼸xpert faculty members bring their professional experiences into the classroom, enhancing the curriculum with real-world examples.
