Charleston’s Master of Business Administration degree is a top-ranked, nationally recognized program that fast-tracks MBA candidates in their respective careers.

Now, that opportunity is available for business and industry professionals looking to earn their graduate degrees in a format that accommodates their work schedules.

The Charleston MBA is here to help you advance to the next level in your organization.

• 18-Months — The EMBA program condenses a traditional two-year full-time, in-person MBA and offers courses in an accelerated eighteen-month, hybrid program.
• Hybrid Format — In-person courses are offered during twelve weekend retreats and two week-long residencies. Courses are taught in synchronous and asynchronous formats. Hybrid coursework gives you the flexibility to earn your MBA in a format that accommodates you.
• Cohort-Based — All MBA candidates begin and conclude the program together. The team-formatted work encourages strengthening your professional network among other managerial- and executive-level colleagues with at least five years of professional experience.
• All-Inclusive Tuition — In a time of rising tuition, the Charleston EMBA prides itself in affordability.  There is no cost difference between in-state and out-of-state residents. All EMBA candidates pay the same total rate of $57,500. 
• 25 Student Class — Each EMBA cohort will consist of 25 students to ensure a tight knit environment and a white glove experience for all students.
