MBA Programs for Working Professionals

Terry’s MBA programs help employees become strategic thinkers and stronger leaders. Each format offers flexibility and immediate value:

Executive MBA

50% in-person, 50% distance learning

In a cohort of mid-to-senior level managers, students harness their leadership potential by honing their analytical abilities, learning how to make decisions in ambiguous situations, enhancing their leadership training and garnering global experience through an international residency. This part-time MBA program allows your leader to bring fresh ideas and perspectives back to your organization.

Professional MBA

50% in-person, 50% online learning

Best for aspiring leaders who want to complete their MBA degrees part-time on evenings or weekends, students complete their degrees in under two years and make an instant impact on their teams and organizations. Students immediately apply what they learn in the classroom and harness their leadership skills over time to expand their impact.

Online MBA

100% online learning

Similar to the Professional MBA, this fully online part-time MBA option offers flexibility for those employees who are thriving in their roles and who want an MBA degree to help them become well-rounded, strategic thought leaders. Online MBA students balance working full-time with online learning, giving them an ideal work-life-school balance. Students receive the same advantages of our top-ranked MBA programs, with flexibility to complete the program in 17, 20, or 23-months conveniently online.

The Terry College also offers a full-time MBA, requiring a full-time, in-person commitment across two years in Athens, GA. While it may not be right for your team’s training needs, it does provide a talent-rich hiring pipeline of up-and-coming leaders.
