Re: Duration of MBA course
 

There are various types of MBA programs and the duration varies accordingly.

The details are mentioned below:


1) Full-time MBA

Most universities offer a two-year full-time MBA for those who wish to complete their MBA within a year and get back into the job-market


2) Part-time MBA

A part-time MBA suits the needs of working professionals who can complete the course on a part-time basis while still being employed. Though this would mean extended duration of the course, the income stream would continue throughout without having to take a break from work.

3) Executive MBA

This is aimed for the experienced professionals from various fields who wish to sharpen their managerial abilities, expand their career potential, gain leadership qualities and acquire international management experience in a multi-cultural environment. The time period would generally be one year

4) Dual MBA

This program suits those who find the MBA course clubbed together with the stream they wish to pursue. Some schools like Wharton, Kellogg have been offering a three year joint J.D. / MBA program. The time period is generally three years.

5) Distance learning MBA

This is a means of obtaining an MBA without actually having to attend the program on the campus. This could be done through various correspondence courses, online course material and discussions, teleconferencing and videoconferencing.
