Accelerated MBA

Earn Your MBA In 1 Year

The Ashland University 1-Year Accelerated MBA timeline enables our students to achieve a world-class education in just 12 short months. Perfect for students with schedules that allow them to take multiple courses per term, this fast-tracked timeline enables students to quickly actualize the personal & professional benefits of earning an MBA.

Accelerated Timeline:

Students will take courses over the course of 3 terms, each of which is split into 6 week blocks.  The typical accelerated timeline has students taking 6 credit hours (2 courses) per 6 week block. This allows students to earn the requisite 30 credit hours in just 12 months. In this typical accelerated timeline, students will only need to take coursework during one of the two 6 week blocks.

That said, the Ashland University 1-Year Accelerated MBA timeline does offer some flexibility and students can still achieve their MBA in 12 months using slightly different structures. During the application process, one of our MBA Advisors will work closely with you to build a schedule and course plan that fits your unique needs.

Built-In International Study Tour

While any Ashland University MBA student can participate in our international study tour program to earn MBA General Elective credit hours, our 1-Year Accelerated MBA students have this program already included in their tuition. This means that, on top of earning a world-class MBA in just 12 months, these students can also earn credits for international travel – at no additional cost.
