Voigt said the program, which began in October, is designed to accelerate degree completion for working adults. With an associate's degree, a student can complete the 28-class program in as few as 16 months. Without an associate's, completion takes about 27 months. Courses include management of change, ethics, finance, human resources, information systems, international business, marketing, operations, team building, and strategy. Other classes cover the influence of economics and government.
Students can apply for academic credit for prior life, work, and learning experiences.
Financial aid is available to those who qualify. A student committee will decide the location. AU opened an evening MBA program at the DuPage airport in W. Chicago in September. An evening MBA class also meets at the Aurora campus.
