MBA On Your Terms: Elevate Your Skills With Our Flexible Online Program
In this program, learners will enhance their leadership skills and gain a comprehensive foundation in functional business areas. They will complete 8 week sessions with breaks in between each session, with May and December almost completely off. Yes, the program is virtual, but the engagement is real! All of our faculty still work on campus and stand ready to answer course, advising, and career questions in a timely fashion. If you cannot come to campus, you can engage with faculty and your peers via chat, phone, or video in a digital campus built on Microsoft Teams. This plus the small class sizes capped at 50 brings you into the HPU family no matter where you are. You can work anytime, anywhere, but we recommend a minimum of 12 hours per course per week when classes are in session to be successful.
