Master of Business Administration (MBA)
An MBA could be only 11 months away... or it can be completed on a part-time basis... or even online!
The University of Mississippi's MBA program is a rigorous and intensive top-100 program, but it is also very flexible so it can work for you no matter what your personal situation requires. It can be completed in as little as 11 months, but you can take as long as six years. You can start in any semester, and you can take as few as one or as many as four courses per semester. You can take semesters off, or you can go straight through. All courses in the residential program on the Oxford campus are one night per week so you can fit them into your busy personal schedule.
If you need even more flexibility, consider the Professional MBA program -- where all courses are online and there are no set meeting times for classes. It is the same degree as the residential program, with the same courses taught by the same highly qualified faculty. The only difference is that you get the additional flexibility to complete the courses from anywhere with alternatively-delivered methodologies such as Internet learning systems, telephone conference calls, videoconferencing, interactive CD-ROM/DVD technology, and short in-person gatherings.
