Accelerated MBA Program
Benedictine University’s Accelerated MBA Program offers a weekend, cohort-style program to working adults. The MBA degree is completed in less than two years while attending Friday evening through Sunday morning classes every third weekend, two courses at a time. Students stay together in cohorts for the entire program. New cohorts begin in the winter.
Internship MBA Program
Our Internship MBA Program is developed specifically for recent graduates and offers a professionalinternship experience as the MBA concentration. Students complete 64 credits in 13 core MBA courses, plus three internship courses.

The core classes are completed with students in the Accelerated MBA program and supplemented with day time internships.
