Q. Can you talk about MBA routes and delivery methods you sacrifice at the University of San Francisco?
The MBA is sacrificed as a full -time MBA of two years, a part -time MBA online and an executive MBA (EMBA). Full -time and Emba programs are delivered in person.
Students looking for full -time MBA choose a career accelerator (CAP) platform in the spring of their first year. This is a dynamic and industry -centered initiative designed to equip MBA students with the necessary skills, experiences and connections to advance their careers. One of the most prominent aspects of the CAP experience is a 14 -week customer -oriented project. In addition, students receive personalized professional training, opportunities for exclusive networks with the main employers and a fully cured academic trip directed by some of our main teachers. By integrating professional development directly into MBA’s experience, the CAP allows students to navigate their Professional trips with confidence and impact.
One of the advantages of the USF MBA program is that it promotes a dynamic and collaborative learning environment when gathering students from the three program-time formats, part-time online and experiences of anchadicating.
