Whether you know exactly where you're heading, or you're still planning your next steps, it all starts with a simple conversation. Let’s talk.
Our Master's Degrees are accredited4 by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) www.acbsp.org.
This course covers the high-level use of accounting for managers. It focuses on building an understanding of how accounting practices work in order to enable you to better analyze the way that this field impacts the overall health of an organization.
An MBA, or Master of Business Administration, is a post-graduate degree that helps business students or established business professionals with bachelor’s degrees to further their business education. The coursework in MBA degree programs is intended to build the management skills of MBA candidates, enabling them to pursue career advancement in various ways, including pursuing jobs where employers require candidates to have earned an MBA or advancing to a more senior position within their existing company.
Earning an MBA degree is a great step toward developing a deeper understanding of business practices, interpersonal skills and leadership abilities. Many people choose to earn an MBA degree in order to further specialize their skillset or to improve their leadership and organizational capabilities as they prepare to pursue management roles in their chosen industry.
The degree you will earn is the same. The difference lies in the amount of time it takes to complete the program. Enrolled in a full-time MBA program, an MBA student can generally take a little more than 2 years to earn their degree. In a part-time program, the coursework is spread out over a longer period of time, taking as many as 4 years to complete the program.
MBA program applicants are typically required to hold a 4-year undergraduate degree from an accredited institution, meet grade point average standards and, in some cases, take an admissions test like the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). To apply for graduate school admission to our Keller Graduate School of Management at DeVry, you will need to hold a bachelor’s degree from a university-recognized institution, demonstrate math and verbal skills proficiency and submit acceptable GMAT or GRE test scores. Visit our Graduate School Admissions page for more specific information.
The cost of earning an MBA degree can vary widely across different educational institutions. Several factors will contribute to your actual cost. For example, by using a combination of approved transfer credits, course waivers and/or credit for professional training, you may satisfy requirements for up to six courses in a particular degree program5, thereby reducing your total tuition cost and accelerating your Master’s Degree journey. Refer to our Tuition and Expenses page for complete financial information.
Yes. You can study 100% online or, for most of our master’s degree programs, choose a hybrid option that combines the tech-infused experiential learning of online with select in-person classes at one of our campus locations. It is important to note, however, that program and course availability vary by location and, in site-based programs, you will be required to take a substantial amount of coursework online to complete your program.
Earning an MBA online is no more difficult than earning an MBA in person at any university or business school. If anything, earning an MBA degree online may be easier on your schedule because it allows you greater flexibility when it comes to class attendance and assignment completion. This can enable you to take classes while you work or care for your family, which may be more challenging with in-person classes. Find out how to get started today!
