Saint Mary's U Debuts Accelerated Online MBA

Minnesota's Saint Mary's University is launching an accelerated online MBA program in an expansion of its fully online offerings.

Designed to be completed in 18 months, the new program can be customized to focus on one of three areas — social media management and marketing, data analytics or sustainability and environmental management — or taken as a more general MBA. The program also offers 25 special topic lectures on issues such as project management, information technology, accounting and more. The accelerated online MBA also includes an experiential capstone project with a domestic or international corporation.

"We are excited to launch this online accelerated MBA program that gives students the opportunity to study what interests them while propelling their business careers," said Holly Tapper, MBA program director, in a prepared statement. "There really isn't another program out there quite like it."
