Each cohort meets on a different schedule. Which cohort is right for you?
The Professional MBA program offers multiple cohort options at our convenient Atlanta location to make it easy for high-potential professionals to complete their education while fully employed. Both cohort options (weekday evenings or the Saturday Hybrid) feature high-quality instruction from distinguished faculty with limited class sizes. Students enjoy true work, life, and school balance.
Weekday Evening Sections
Students in an evening section follow a schedule that includes both in-person and online learning. If you choose an evening section, you’ll select either a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedule. For the first two weeks of each module, you’ll come to the Atlanta campus on your preferred schedule from 6-9 p.m. During the third week, you can complete your coursework at home, in the office, or wherever you like using distance learning. You’ll repeat this rotation throughout each module and have a healthy work, life, and school balance.
Why might a weekday evening section be right for you?
- You prefer a program that includes both in-person and online learning with classes offered during the week. The weekday evening schedule offers 70% in-person and 30% online/distance learning.
- You want to network in-person with your classmates, while having time to connect with your professors face to face.
- You can attend class close to your office to minimize your commute, or, you can work remotely from campus prior to your evening classes.
- Your weekends remain unscheduled for friends, family, or travel.
Saturday Hybrid Section
Launching in Fall 2024, the Saturday Hybrid format promotes flexibility for working professionals by delivering courses via 50% on-campus classroom instruction and 50% distance and online learning. Over a 12-week timeframe, students will spend four Saturdays on campus in Atlanta and three Saturdays in an online synchronous learning environment, with the remainder of each module executed through distance learning. This new format is ideal for students who prefer a hybrid MBA that includes both in-person and online learning on a weekend schedule.
Why might the Saturday hybrid section be right for you?
- You prefer a program that includes both in-person and online learning with classes offered on Saturdays. The Saturday hybrid schedule offers 50% in-person and 50% distance online/distance learning.
- You want to network in-person with your classmates, while having time to connect with your professors face to face.
- Your work schedule or travel does not allow for weekday classes.
- You prefer to focus on work during the week and turn your attention to education on the weekend.
