Before going for MBA course, it’s important to understand the different types of MBA programs available to assess your requirements and goals.

Different types of MBA programs

1. Full-time MBA

The full-time MBA is exactly that: one to two years of full-time graduate study.

Participants attend weekday classes at a business school and will need to dedicate 12-24 months for the degree

2. Accelerated MBA

The accelerated MBA is a variation on the two-year program.
There is also less time in between semesters and the summer break is much shorter than usual.
Accelerated MBAs are typically one year long.

3. Distance learning MBA

The key difference between a distance learning MBA and an online MBA is that the former requires participants to attend class at some time during their studies.

For the majority of the time, participants studying a distance learning MBA will learn via interactive video, pre-recorded video.

4. Online MBA

Many business schools have responded to the needs of participants and are now offering an online MBA degree.

Participants can gain the qualification from the comfort of their own home and apply it immediately in their everyday work.

5. Executive MBA (EMBA)

Executive MBA (EMBA) programs are designed for the experienced working professional who cannot afford to take a prolonged period of time away from their career.

The EMBA program is delivered in a part-time format, over a period of 12 to 24 months, allowing participants to study while they work.

6. Professional MBA (PMBA)

The professional MBA provides even greater flexibility than many programs, allowing participants to study via evening or weekend study modes and graduate within 12 months.

7. Global EMBA (also known as GEMBA)

Global EMBA programs are usually combined programs between different schools or campuses of the same school in different corners of the globe.

Global EMBA programs are competitive and also usually more expensive.

8. Joint EMBA (also includes - Consortia and Multi-Institution programs)

Similar in style to the global EMBA, multi-institution or joint MBA programs allow participants to experience a variety of teaching styles and curricula on different campuses.

These programs can be delivered by two to up to six partner institutions.

9. Modular EMBA

The modular EMBA is intensive.

It requires participants to immerse themselves into the EMBA classroom for allotted periods of time (usually from one to two weeks) once every few months (rather than weekly or fortnightly classes).

10. Part-time MBA

The part-time MBA degree is a full-time program studied over three or more years.

Participants can continue to work while they study as classes are held during evenings or over weekends.
