Offered through WPU’s Professional and Graduate Studies (PGS) division, the accelerated MBA degree program has been created to accommodate the unique needs of today’s adult learners, many of whom are balancing work and family responsibilities. 

Students in the program may choose to participate in a 100% online, asynchronous learning experience or select a hybrid flexible (HyFlex) learning model, which includes one synchronous class per course. All MBA courses are scheduled in six-week blocks for accelerated completion. 

Regardless of the format:

• Expert faculty members bring their professional experiences into the classroom, enhancing the curriculum with real-world examples.

• Rolling monthly start dates let you begin working toward your MBA as soon as possible, rather than wait a full semester.

• Courses use WPU’s Learning Communities cohort model, which is ideal for building connections with your fellow students and professors.

Online Experience

Asynchronous lectures are scheduled weekly, and students then complete all assignments and readings within this time frame.

Participation is key to the online format of the MBA degree program. After registering for a course, the typical online student logs in on average five out of seven days per week to access materials and must contribute at least three substantial posts to class forums over two days per week.

HyFlex Experience

Most of the coursework for the HyFlex format of the MBA program is completed asynchronously, but the first class meeting is conducted in a synchronous format. Students may choose to attend the synchronous class remotely or in person at our main and local campuses in Portland. 

Some students may choose to participate in WPU’s 4+1 MBA program, which is also offered in multiple formats.

If you’re ready to apply to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program, please review WPU’s admissions requirements.
