Miami is a business hub and gateway to Latin America and the larger international business world—and our students know it. Whether it’s through events hosted by the University of Miami—intended to build international connections—or the wide variety of countries and cultural backgrounds represented by our MBA students, at Miami Herbert Business School, we explore and celebrate the things that connect us.
Graduates of our on-campus program have worked at organizations with headquarters in Miami, such as the Miami Heat and Norwegian Cruise Line, as well as for leading international corporations that include:
Amazon | American Express | Capital One | Carnival | Citi | Coca Cola
Deutsche Bank | IBM | Mastercard | Viacom | Visa
The value of an online MBA will often depend on a range of factors such as school and program ranking, faculty quality, and curriculum difficulty. Our students value the expertise of our faculty and the global alumni network that consists of professionals at organizations including Amazon, Capital One, Citi, IBM, and Visa.
Each organization is different, but many treat an MBA earned online the same as an MBA earned on campus—they are, after all, often the same degree. For example, our online MBA program courses are designed by the same acclaimed faculty who teach in the on-campus program.
Typical MBA programs take two to three years to complete, based on whether they are full or part time. Our online MBA can be completed in as few as 20 months on a full-time schedule or 28 months on a part-time schedule. Also, our accelerated track can be completed in 16 months full time or 24 months part time.
Every year, more and more MBA programs accept standardized test scores such as the GRE instead of the GMAT, or they waive GMAT test scores altogether. Our online MBA program does not require either GRE or GMAT test scores to apply—we prefer to focus on potential for leadership and experience.
Applicants to our online MBA program need two years of prior professional work experience and a bachelor’s degree from any field. Applicants to the accelerated online MBA track must have a bachelor’s, master’s, or equivalent degree in business earned in the last seven years.
