Program Overview

Jumpstart your career with our AACSB-accredited One-Year MBA program

Our program is designed for students seeking to transition into new careers. Students choose to specialize or earn a general management degree, so they can tailor their learning toward the career they want.

Global specializations

You'll have an opportunity to specialize in one of four areas: Business Analytics, Global Finance, Global Supply Chain Management, or International Business. If you prefer, you may combine electives for a General Management option.

In January, you'll participate in the Global Immersion Experience, during which you and your classmates will travel abroad, and meet with senior executives at international firms and/or governmental policymakers. In previous years' students have traveled to Chile, Panama, China, Germany, and most recently to Iceland.

The cohort/study team difference

All Bryant One-Year MBA students are members of a cohort, moving through the entire program with the same group of students. This community of peers will offer support and encouragement and will become the foundation of your professional network.
