Online Corporate MBA
In 2009, FIU began offering their Master of Business Administration or corporate MBA program online via Academic Partnerships. The FIU online program provides students with access to the Chapman Graduate School of Business programs, faculty and coursework. Online students who have applied and been accepted through the Academic Partnerships program are held to the same selective standards as on campus students. However, they are not required to take the GMAT nor are they required to attend class in person. The online format provides flexibility and diversity that business professionals are seeking.
Online students are required to take at least two courses per term for 18 months. Students must also complete 42 credit hours at FIU to be eligible for the Master of Business Administration. The online corporate MBA program was designed for business professionals who desired a graduate degree.
