The Butler MBA

MBA Curriculum

A personalized program can make all the difference in your success as an MBA student. A key benefit of Butler's MBA is flexibility. Classes are held in the evenings and some are offered on Saturdays.

The program is set up in a way that allows you to proceed at the pace that's best for you. Prerequisites have been condensed and can now be completed in as little as one semester. And unlike many other programs, you can choose when during the program to take particular courses, allowing maximum discretion in balancing work, life and graduate school. Your MBA program can be completed in as little as two years, depending on the pace you choose.

David A. CasterThe Butler MBA makes a significant impact on my career because it fosters an understanding of business strategy, thought and organizational leadership. The degree enhances my ability as a community and civic leader, entrepreneur and successful business attorney. What impacted me the most was the practicality of the course instruction coupled with the high-caliber instructors and business leaders we were given access to - relationships that continue beyond the classroom.  I highly recommend the Butler MBA to individuals with entrepreneurial or leadership aspirations.
