Stetson University offers fast-paced MBA programs for working professionals. In broad strokes, the Stetson MBA is divided into the following areas: foundational course work (or prerequisite courses), advanced course work, and electives. Stetson’s is a general MBA, and students can tailor their education through elective courses in fields like decision science, finance, management, information Ƶ, and marketing.

Throughout the MBA course work, professors emphasize case studies and real-world applications, giving students important skills they can take back to the workplace.
Stetson offers the MBA degree on their main campus in DeLand, as well as online . The school offers a “great class schedule” for working professionals, with MBA courses offered once a week in the evenings. The full-time student should be able to complete the degree program in approximately sixteen months, while the part-time student could complete the program in about twenty-four months. Full-time students’ programs require four semesters to complete the degree requirements, and part-time students’ programs require six semesters to complete the degree requirements. The school offers a joint JD/MBA at Gulfport, which can be completed at speed: just three years for both degrees, start to finish, with the graduate business courses all offered online.

A recommendation in itself, many students come to Stetson’s graduate business program after completing their undergraduate degree at the college. Indeed, Stetson’s graduate programs retain many of the qualities—like intimacy and friendliness—that define the undergraduate experience. A particular advantage, the Stetson MBA is a relatively small program, giving students excellent access to their professors, and an emphasis on “one-on-one discussions.” Even more importantly, “the professors are excellent and outstanding mentors on campus,” providing insight and support to their students. While many professors are accomplished professionals, they are “dedicated to the educational services, not busy with their own research.” Course delivery is in-person in DeLand or online.
