Executive MBA Program: Time Commitment
Schedules to advance your career while maintaining your workload.
EIGHTEEN LIFE-CHANGING MONTHS. ONE PRESTIGIOUS DEGREE.
The Oregon Executive MBA program meets for 18 months on alternating Fridays and Saturdays. This allows you to complete your MBA in less than two years, without interrupting your career.
EARN YOUR DEGREE. WORK FULL TIME.
During the weeks of the year classes are held, you will spend about eight hours in class and up to 20 hours per week in outside preparation. This includes attending a weekly Learning Team meeting, reading, preparing presentations and writing papers. Some students report spending less time per week, but it will vary according to individual academic skills and experience level.
EXHILARATING ACADEMIC PROGRAM. DESIGNED FOR ACHIEVERS.
The Oregon Executive MBA program is designed for professional, working adult students. In the past, even business travel has not impaired the ability for students to successfully complete the program. With solid academic ability and the freedom to adjust weekly responsibilities, you will find this program format well-suited to helping you accomplish your goals. We ensure that you are comfortable and well-cared for while in class, allowing you to stay focused on your learning objectives.
HIGH-TECH FACILITY. EARTH-FRIENDLY DESIGN.
Classes are held at a state-of-the art facility in the 200 Market Building, in downtown Portland, Oregon. Modeled after the well-known Harvard case rooms, the executive classroom is designed to strongly facilitate interaction among participants. With a direct line of sight between each student, the room is ideally suited for the business case method of learning. Each seat has both wired and wireless broadband connectivity, low glare lighting to reduce eye fatigue while computing, and high performance audio visual capabilities. Along with a tiered, ADA accessible, design-compliant classroom and full multi-media capability, you will have access to a computer lounge, dining facility and team meeting spaces.
