A Program Designed for Your Lifestyle
The Elon MBA is structured with your busy schedule in mind. To help manage your professional and personal priorities, you can complete Elon’s MBA program at your own pace.
Start the program in the spring or fall, take one class at a time and earn your degree in 33 months, or take two classes at a time and finish in just 21 months. Classes are held one evening per week from 6-9 p.m. so you do not have to take time off from work to get to class. Professors make a point of being accessible—they are responsive online and often you can even call them at home.
With two locations, you can maximize flexibility by taking classes on the Elon University campus or The Solution Center in RTP.

Below is just one way a student could complete the program two classes at a time. This example presumes a fall start, accounting and finance foundation courses completed, attending both summer sessions, and taking entrepreneurship and management as electives.
